Texas man fires on Secret Service near White House; bystander injured

Surveillance photos show Michael Marx, 45, of Texas, allegedly drawing a handgun and firing toward Secret Service agents near the White House as officers pursued him; a juvenile bystander was struck and hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, while Marx was wounded by Secret Service gunfire and taken into custody. Investigators recovered a 9 mm SIG Sauer handgun; Marx reportedly lacked a DC carry license and has a prior felony drug conviction, leading to federal charges including assaulting federal officers with a dangerous weapon and illegal firearm possession. Officials say the confrontation occurred shortly after Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade passed, and there is no indication the motorcade was targeted.
