Man charged in DC shooting walked near JD Vance's motorcade, agent says

A man accused of firing a gun near the Washington Monument, Michael Marx, was walking along the path of Senator JD Vance's motorcade before the confrontation, according to a court filing. The incident, which occurred near the White House, saw Marx shot multiple times by officers after he allegedly pulled a firearm and fired at them, inadvertently hitting a bystander. The court filing details Marx's alleged vulgar remarks about the White House and his pleas to be killed after being wounded. The US Attorney's office has vowed to pursue the most serious charges available, emphasizing the gravity of gun violence occurring so close to the seat of government. Marx, who has a prior felony conviction for drug trafficking, faces multiple charges, including assaulting officers and discharging a firearm during a violent crime. This event follows a separate incident where a man armed with guns and knives attempted to storm the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
