Martin Austermuhle on Twitter: "This is more than 2 miles from the White House, which is a guarded fortress anyhow. This shooting did happen close to many normal people, though. NOT EVERYTHING IN D.C. SHOULD BE MEASURED IN DISTANCE TO THE WHITE HOUSE!… https://t.co/aa4ZuYYY0w"

  @maustermuhle with conviction like that, you’re #ManEnoughToBeAMom. You’re 100% right, too. Daily gun violence kills 100 people per day and impacts many, many more. Thank you. @MomsDemand

  2 miles? Yeah, I wouldn’t call that all that close if it happened here in Detroit.

  This is like how in the NYT they report all the shootings in Weehauken, NJ as “close to Times Square”.

  I guess, if this is true, one could argue anywhere in DC is 'not far from the White House'.

  And 10 years ago, it was quite common to have gun fights in Northeast/Southeast DC. Hope the best for survivors and RIp
