    • Taco is turning 80 soon. I’ll get my chance to piss on his grave soon enough without someone having to murder him, you prick.

  1. Kash Patel has already written “anti-ballroom” on all the bullet casings.

  2. “A shooter has been confirmed as dead.”

    No one was killed in the shooting incident. The suspect, identified as Cole Allen, was taken into custody.

    A Secret Service agent was struck in the chest, but his armored vest prevented fatal injury, and he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
