It was only a matter of time before something like this happened in one of the cities they've been deployed to.

I hope they both pull through.

Needless to say, the murder of two NG in downtown DC is very, very bad and will be further destabilizing.

I’ve not yet seen confirmation of the degree of injury suffered by the suspect, but he was taken to hospital.

Both have died. Suspect wounded and in custody, not confirmed if he’s alive. There’s also replies in the Trump 2024-28 thread, may be worth merging those to this one. I think this event does merit its own thread, this will have repercussions.

Relevant: six days ago, a federal court judge ruled this particular deployment illegal, but stayed the decision for 21 days to allow for appeal.

Condolences to the families. Pray that cooler heads prevail. These things can spiral quick.

Sounds like another (democrat) judge putting sticks in the spokes. This and other federal judge orders are just an exercise in partisan interference.
