That White House shooter

Rattled yet?  . . .  "Additionally, when there's a crisis, we grade a leader's performance — can this leader handle the heat?  When the going gets tough and scary, will this person be there for the nation?  Will the leader show grace under pressure?" . . .

After providing a few more details, Trump opened the floor for questions.  A reporter asked, "Are you rattled by this at all, Mr. President?"  Trump's response was simple.  "I don't know.  Do I seem rattled?"  In fact, he didn't seem rattled.  Trump acknowledged that the world is a dangerous place and then quickly got back to business.

 Man ‘ran aggressively’ at Secret Service officer before being shot near White House 
"The man shot near the White House on Monday — briefly halting the president’s press briefing — “ran aggressively” towards a Secret Service agent and claimed to have a weapon, authorities said.
"The shooting of the 51-year-old suspect by a federal officer happened at 5:50 p.m. right outside the White House at the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, the Secret Service said in a statement.
" 'The suspect approached the officer and told the officer he had a weapon. The suspect then turned around, ran aggressively towards the officer, and in a drawing motion, withdrew an object from his clothing,” the federal agency said.
"The man then “crouched into a shooter’s stance as if about to fire a weapon,” before the officer opened fire, striking the man in his torso." . . .
