31 years ago today, October 29, 1994 (September 25, 1994 in the lunar calendar), the gunman who shot the White House was found guilty. 1600 Pennsylvania Street in downtown Washington is the first White House in the United States known to the world. Since 1800, the White House has been the president's official residence and a symbol of political power. It is admired by people and has many attacks. Since the fall of 1994, the White House has suffered many "misfortunes". At about 3 p.m. on October 29, 1994, the White House was crowded with tourists. Suddenly, a gangster took out a semi-automatic rifle from his clothes, extended the barrel into the iron railing of the north wall of the White House, and fired at the White House, firing twenty or thirty bullets at one go. Bullets hit the door or wall of the main building, and several rounds hit the news center in the northwest corner. A glass window was shattered, but no one was injured. President Clinton, who had just returned to the White House from the Middle East in the morning, was watching the American football game on TV at home. He heard gunshots but "didn't panic." Mrs. Clinton went to California, and her daughter happened to be out of the palace. Tourists outside heard the gunshots and were scared to hide everywhere. White House secret agents did not dare to shoot at the gangsters for fear of hurting tourists. The gangster was about to point his gun at the tourists when he ran out of bullets. The clip fell to the floor while loading the bullet. Witnesses said that if the bullets were reloaded, it was unknown how many people would suffer. At this moment, a tourist named Rakosk rushed up from behind and threw him to the ground. Another young man named Davis followed closely and tied up the gangster with Rakosk. Security guards climbed over the wall and rushed over the gangster, handcuffed him and took him away. After investigation, the gunman was named Duran, 26 years old, a hotel worker in Colorado. His wife said Duran disappeared on October 1. Before leaving, he said he was going to buy materials for target practice, but never came back (on April 4, 1995, Francisco Duran was found guilty of attempted murder of the president by a federal jury). Earlier, at 1:49 a.m. on September 12, while people were sleeping soundly, a truck driver named Coder drove a stolen small trainer plane into the White House restricted area and crashed into President Clinton's bedroom window. The plane fragments broke the glass of one window. Fortunately, the president's family did not live in the palace that night. After that, at about 2 a.m. on December 17, another shot was fired at the White House from the south. Witnesses heard six gunshots. One bullet passed through the glass window of the banquet hall, and three more bullets landed in front of the South Porch of the White House. Drive and nearby ground. On the upper floor of the banquet hall is President Clinton's bedroom. At that time, the Clintons and their daughter were sleeping, and Clinton was awakened after the incident. After a series of incidents, the Treasury Department, which is in charge of White House security, as well as the White House Guard and Police, were quite nervous. Treasury Secretary Bentsen ordered the establishment of an expert committee to study and come up with a plan to strengthen White House security. Security forces proposed to close Pennsylvania Avenue between 15th and 17th Streets in front of the White House and expand the White House security area. Clinton and White House officials, worried that it would cause political problems, rejected the proposal and asked security personnel to ensure both the safety of the White House and the openness of the White House to the outside world. As a result, the security forces can only step up their precautions and even feel scared. South of the White House, security guards and police also expanded their patrols. At about 2 a.m. on December 23, a man was wandering in the Oval Square in the south. Security officers found him acting suspiciously and caught him. Sure enough, a gun was found on him. An hour later, another man drove a car to the White House and stopped it, saying that his car had an explosive device, and then tried to leave. Security guards grabbed him and found that there was nothing in the car.
