As The Gateway Pundit reported, at least two National Guard members were shot near the White House on Wednesday, causing the White House to come under lockdown.
Vice President JD Vance responded to the news while delivering remarks to troops at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.
He called for those in attendance at his speech to “say a prayer for those two National Guardsmen that they’re able to spend Thanksgiving with their families, instead of losing their lives, because I understand they’re still in pretty tough condition.”
President Trump also responded, noting that the suspect is also “severely wounded,” along with the military members he shot.
The “animal,” he said, “will pay a very steep price.”
