Secret Service gun battle at local hotel, White House intern shot!

 

While standing post outside a Washington hotel room, former President Clinton's security detail reacted quickly to an apparent assignation attempt.  A para-military type squad, carrying sniper rifles, was seen moving through the hotel, closing in on the room where Mr. Clinton was interviewing a young female intern. As it turns out, these men were also Secret Service, acting under the instructions of President Clinton.  One agent, who refused to be identified, said their orders were very specific; "We were told to get into a firing position as soon as he got into a firing position.  If we heard a zipper, we were immediately authorized to shoot .  When I asked the President what we should do if the target was already down, she screamed, 'NOT HER YOU IDIOT, HIM. SHOOT HIM!!! 

 

Many guns are drawn, but in the end, Bill fired off the only round.
