A District of Columbia police officer has been taken off a motorcycle escort for White House officials after
he allegedly said he’d shoot first lady Michelle Obama and “then used his phone to retrieve a picture of the firearm he said he would use,” according to
The Washington Post.
During an appearance Friday morning on News Channel 8’s “
NewsTalk With Bruce DePuyt,“ D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said he hoped that the allegations turned out to be false, noting the current investigations by the MPD and Secret Service into the incident.
“There’s no room for jokes or frivolity when you’re dealing with the first family,” Gray said.
