The Secret Service shot a man during an armed confrontation near the White House Sunday, the agency announced.
The incident unfolded just after midnight, about a block west of the White House near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Police sources identified the suspect as 27-year-old Andrew Dawson, of Indiana. Agents said he was armed with a firearm and a knife when he was confronted by agents investigating an earlier alert.
Indiana police had notified D.C. authorities that Dawson was driving to the Washington, D.C. area and was “suicidal.” Intelligence bulletins also indicated that the suspect wanted to commit “suicide by cop.”
Members of the Secret Service encountered the man’s parked car near 17th and F Streets, NW, and saw a person matching his description nearby.
They told him to drop the weapons, but he did not comply. That’s when the Secret Service says Dawson “reached toward his waist,” so they opened fire, Fox News learned.

Mr. Dawson was rushed to a hospital nearby- his condition is unreported. Thanks, Gun Bunny.
It’s time for us to do what we have been doing and that time is every day.

Bringing a knife AND a gun to a suicide -by-cop gunfight.
A death wish is definitely a T2NB2AGF.
Seems like the Secret Service has gotten their act together a little more better of late. James West and Artemus Gordon…grin.
I gots to take time everyday this week to do some time consuming escort/chores/runs. Past time for The Coco (Puffy Puppy) Melon to get a haircut, time to see the toof doc tomorrow, and time for escort duty on Wednesday. And yep, it’s been raining for a long time and will be raining time and time again this week.
Hmmm…looks like we have “Wheel Gun Week” time coming up. I always have a good time when it’s Wheel Gun Time. Nicest thing about this time is there is no time for plasticized abominations.
Cue up…well…IYKYK…
