In July he then entered the vetoed area. Court papers say he referred to himself as “God” and “Jesus Christ.” He told the officers to trespassing me. Without this the judge ordered him to stay yonder from the White House. Still he arrived with weapons on Saturday

The teachers immediately took up positions and returned fire. The White House was put on lockdown for 30 minutes as soon as the gunshots were heard. The journalists present inside were rushed to the printing rundown room. ABC reporter Selina Wang said it felt as if “dozens of bullets” had been fired.
