    Shooter was a secret service agent firing at someone they thought had a gun. Suspect was arrested, no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.

    (I know, I know, NYP, but after going through 5 articles, this one seems to have the most detail.)

    “Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter.”

      So… americans will defend the right to have guns… but get shot by secret service for having guns…

        It’s not even clear that the suspect had a gun, but you know, what other long, tubular shaped metal object could they POSSIBLY have been carrying near a golf course? 🤔

      The article you linked was updated, looks like he did have a gun and was spotted while aiming through the fence:

      Investigators found the suspect had left behind his “AK-style” rifle, as well as two backpacks, one of which contained ceramic tile, at the scene, Bradshaw said.
