Man Charged In D.C. Shooting Was Following Path Of Vance's Motorcade

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man accused of firing a gun at law enforcement officers near the Washington Monument this week was following the path of Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade before the shooting. That's according to a court filing Wednesday. A sworn statement from a Secret Service also says the suspect made a vulgar remark about the White House after the confrontation. The affidavit doesn't specify whether investigators believe the suspect, Michael Marx, had a particular target. He's charged with assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon, discharging a firearm during a violent crime and being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition. Court records didn't immediately list the name of a lawyer representing Marx.
