Third fake shooting, the plot is getting boring.

But like how are you gonna make it inside the white house and just get captured. Like how are you good enough to make it there but not good enough to do some real damage.

Sounds staged y'all.

This wasn't at the Whitehouse, but yeah, I think this is likely something to get the lawsuits dropped to finish building the ballroom on the east wing
