🚨 BREAKING NEWS: SHOCK IN D.C. — PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SHOT AGAIN OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE 🚨
Reported 20 minutes ago | June 29, 2025
Washington, D.C. — A horrifying scene unfolded just minutes ago outside the gates of the White House as former President Donald J. Trump was reportedly shot again, sending a wave of shock, confusion, and chaos through the capital and across the nation. The incident took place at approximately 3:40 PM Eastern Time, as Trump was exiting the White House premises after a scheduled private meeting with several key Republican figures.
Eyewitnesses describe the scene as chaotic and surreal. “We heard a loud crack — a gunshot,” said Alicia Martinez, a tourist from Texas who was standing near Lafayette Square. “Secret Service agents immediately tackled the former President and shielded him with their bodies. It all happened in less than five seconds.”
🔴 Immediate Aftermath
Within seconds, alarms sounded across the White House grounds. Secret Service agents swarmed the area, drawing weapons and rushing to secure the perimeter. Former President Trump was seen being quickly ushered into a black SUV before being transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
According to a high-ranking source within the Secret Service, Trump was hit in the shoulder, and while the injury is not currently believed to be life-threatening, he is being closely monitored.
The White House press office has not released an official statement yet, but Trump’s close aide and spokesperson, Liz Harrington, posted on Truth Social moments ago:
“President Trump is awake, alert, and receiving medical attention. He is in stable condition. We thank the brave agents who protected him today — and we will not be intimidated.”
🔍 Details Still Emerging
Authorities are still working to determine the identity and motive of the shooter. A suspect was reportedly apprehended near Constitution Avenue, but D.C. Police and the FBI have not confirmed whether this individual is connected to the shooting. Helicopters remain circling overhead, and Pennsylvania Avenue has been shut down entirely. Security has been significantly tightened throughout the area.
Multiple security camera feeds are being reviewed by both federal and local authorities.

⚠️ Second Attempt Raises Questions
This latest incident marks the second time Trump has been targeted by gunfire in recent years. Security experts are now questioning how such a breach could occur so close to the White House — one of the most secure locations in the world.
Tom Kellerman, a former cybersecurity commissioner for the White House, said in a CNN interview, “This may reflect a deeper failure of intelligence coordination. After what happened the first time, there should have been multiple contingency protocols in place. Something went wrong.”
