A Washington D.C. motorcycle escort cop for the White House has been reassigned to desk duty after he was overheard threatening to shoot the first lady Michelle Obama. There are reports that the unidentified officer showed another officer the gun he would use to assassinate the first lady.
The U.S. Secret Service is investigating the allegations.
From the Washington Post:
The motorman allegedly made the comments Wednesday morning as several officers from the Special Operations Division discussed threats against the Obamas. It was not immediately clear where the alleged conversation took place or exactly how many officers took part in the conversation.
During that conversation, the officials said, the officer allegedly said he would shoot the First Lady and then used his phone to retrieve a picture of the firearm he said he would use. It was not immediately clear what type of firearm was allegedly shown.
An officer overheard the alleged threat and reported it to a police lieutenant at the Division, who immediately notified superiors, the officials said.
“We received an allegation that inappropriate comments were made. We are currently investigating the nature of those comments,” D.C. police spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump said in an e-mail. She declined to discuss the matter further.
