Агенты Секретной службы США открыли огонь по подозреваемому в Вашингтоне
По данным федерального аффидевита, инцидент произошел в понедельник днем в районе пересечения 15-й улицы и Индепенденс-авеню, примерно в полумиле от Белого дома. Сотрудники Секретной службы заметили у 45-летнего Майкла Маркса из Техаса предмет, похожий на скрытое огнестрельное оружие. При попытке подойти к нему мужчина попытался скрыться, достав пистолет из-за пояса.Согласно материалам дела, во время преследования через оживный пешеходный переход Маркс развернулся и произвел выстрел в сторону агента. В результате перестрелки сотрудники Секретной службы открыли ответный огонь, ранив подозреваемого в руку, левую руку и верхнюю часть живота. На месте также был ранен гражданский подросток: он получил огнестрельное ранение в ногу, его состояние оценивается как не представляющее угрозы для жизни.Событие произошло вскоре после того, как через этот район проехал кортеж вице-президента Джей Ди Вэнса. Однако заместитель директора Секретной службы Мэтт Куинн заявил, что признаков целенаправленной атаки на высокопоставленное лицо обнаружено не было.В ходе расследования полиция изъяла пистолет SIG Sauer калибра 9 мм и электронные устройства. Установлено, что Маркс не имел лицензии на ношение оружия в Вашингтоне и ранее был судим за преступление, связанное с наркотиками, что делает владение оружием незаконным. Ему предъявлены федеральные обвинения в нападении на федеральных офицеров с применением опасного оружия, использовании огнестрельного оружия во время совершения насильственного преступления и незаконном хранении оружия.В материалах дела также указано, что после получения ранений Маркс выкрикивал оскорбления в адрес Белого дома и призывал офицеров застрелить его во время транспортировки в больницу. Состояние подозреваемого на данный момент не разглашается.
