A bystander was also hit. Enquirie s are being made to see which gun that bullet came from.

It's standard U.S. armed forces and police techniques to let loose with multiple magazines just in the general direction of the threat, with the hope that something hits the offender. It's not helped by the fact that most short-barrelled pistols and revolvers aren't particularly accurate after about 25 to 30 metres - and even more so if you're moving, trying to find cover.

I reckon those secret service guards might benefit from a bit of gun training - it took 30 shots to bring down one lightly armed person. (there was only mention of him having a hand gun)

What I alluded to is a KNOWN causal factor in these happenings. It seemed like an appropriate time to Mention it.. Plus It's in the OFF topic place. I know a bloke that bought a rusty steel boat, which sank.. Was that Ironic? He thought it was a steal at the Price. THAT was Nautical but NOT Nice. He'd floated the idea of a boat many times with his wife, She couldn't ever sea the funny side of it. Her Heart sank when she got the News, (That the Insurance wasn't paid). That Put the Kybosh on a good Bottom of the Harbour scheme. Nev

freind was a tpo. The correct word is "friend." In case you didn't know, "I'm a friend of Dorothy" was a code used by Gay men before being Gay was legal. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the USA Naval Investigative Service (NIS), the predecessor to the modern-day Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), was investigating homosexuality in the Chicago area. Agents discovered that gay men sometimes referred to themselves as "friends of Dorothy". Unaware of the historical meaning of the term, the NIS believed that there actually was a woman named Dorothy at the center of a massive ring of homosexual military personnel, so they launched an enormous and futile hunt for the elusive "Dorothy", hoping to find her and convince her to reveal the names of gay service members.

When are you blokes going to recognise irony?

Is He a Convict? . Aren't we all supposed to be descendants of FELONS? Is NOTHING Sacred? Nev

Not a very SECRET service. . He gets the Publicity He Probably sought. . Nev

No, just another day in good ole USA. If he intended an assassination, I doubt he would pull a pistol at the front gate. So, simply another deranged gun nut.

Hopefully, he is enroute to sunny Orstraya at last!

Hope he didnt have a bingle on that bike.

The shooter was shot dead by the Secret Service.

Is she THAT Ugly? Nev

Does that mean he's cracking on with the renovations?

Oh, Lord! No! Another orchestrated assasination attempt!!!!!!!

Is there some sort of euphemism or secret code in Dot and the Kangaroo? Different reference : Has anyone ever told you that they were a freind of Dorothy?

He's a REAL person. I thought he commented Recently but only the once. Nev

That's Rolf Harris and He's out of favour. A tied down Kangaroo, or a dead one is the Only Safe Skippy. (The Bush Kangaroo). Nev

Bots would be able to spell better.

Six white boomers are no longer allowed on the radio. And kangaroos are no longer tied down.

I always suspected he was a bot. 😂

It gets weirder. I located his entry in the Members list in this forum, but AircraftPilots came up with No Record found, even though there is a Community Map Marker for him there.

I was a bit surprised that the recent discussion on the AI thread didn't seem to tempt him.

I notice Jerry hasn't posted in over a month, with a sudden end to his postings a few days before Anzac Day. I also see he looks in every day, but doesn't post anything. What has happened to our normally voluble contributor? Has he been threatened with zero computer access, if he continues to spend too much time on this forum? Did his managers find some of his posts and warn him his postings may soon result in job termination? Even worse, did Trumps active MAGA gorillas track him down, and threaten him with extradition to the U.S., with added corporal punishment? Or was it Hamas operatives that found his pro-Israel postings, and put out a Fatwa on him?? Or is it just a self-imposed computer-and-forum-time restriction, that keeps him from adding his regular 2 cents daily?? Inquiring minds need to know - and we especially need to know if he's not running in fear, looking over his shoulder, since he noticed the surveillance and tracking! 😄
