Officer Threatens To Assasinate Michelle Obama

A
Washington D.C. police officer in charge of protecting White House officials
has been put on administrative leave yesterday [July 12] after he allegedly
threatened the life of American First Lady Michelle
Obama. According
to the Washington Post, the officer works as a motorcycle escort and
is alleged to have said he would shoot the First Lady. He is said to have shown
his fellow officers a photo of a gun that he would use.

The
D.C. Metropolitan Police Department didn’t have many details on the
situation,
but spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump said in a statement: “We received an
allegation that inappropriate comments were made. We are currently
investigating the nature of those comments.” 

The
Department has also contacted the Secret Service about the potential threat. Secret
Service spokesman Ed Donovan said
the agency is “aware of the incident” and is “taking the appropriate
follow up steps” with an investigation.
