Conservative pundit Tim Pool said on Saturday that a gunman in a vehicle opened fire on his guarded property Friday night. No one was injured in the incident.
“My immediate thoughts is someone was trying to scare us,” he wrote on X. “But we have a security gate and armed guards and its possible this deterred something more serious.”
In a previous post, Pool said his security team is reviewing the reported drive-by shooting and will be relaying the report to various law enforcement agencies.
The Washington Examiner did not immediately receive responses from the FBI and West Virginia law enforcement on Saturday morning. Pool’s home and office are located in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
“This is the price we pay for speaking out against evil,” the right-wing podcaster said.
An outpouring of support from conservatives was apparent on social media.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who recently announced her resignation from Congress after facing threats sparked by her feud with President Donald Trump, reacted to the incident.
“This is terrifying. I’m glad everyone is ok,” she posted on X. “Everyone must stand together against this type of political violence and intimidation. No matter who it happens to. Whether you like them or not.”
Gen. Mike Flynn, Conservative journalist Megyn Kelly, and Turning Point USA executive Tyler Bowyer were among the public figures to condemn what Pool believes was targeted violence against him.
“This is the sort of madness that occurs in a deeply divided society where the adversaries are seeking to create crises instead of stopping them from happening in the first place,” Flynn said. “Glad to hear no one is hurt. We need to figure out how to return to sanity quickly before worse domestic conditions are created by those who foment false flags and fake crises for the sole purpose of creating chaos.”
The retired general tagged Trump, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in his post. None of the tagged accounts belonging to those officials have posted about Friday night’s shooting as of early Saturday afternoon. Flynn briefly served as Trump’s national security adviser in the early days of the president’s first term.
TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at a Utah university. Aside from the two assassination attempts on Trump’s life last year, Kirk’s death was the most notable instance of political violence in recent memory.
CONFESSIONS FROM TEXAS ANTIFA CELL OPERATIVES COULD PULL BACK CURTAIN
German activist Naomi Seibt, who participated on Pool’s Friday show, said she left his studio before the shooting happened. She described the attack as a “potential assassination attempt” and related it to the shooting that killed Kirk.
“The show was one of the most historic episodes in the culture war. [Milo Yiannopoulos] and Tim had a conversation that could take down the system,” Seibt claimed. “Charlie Kirk was only the beginning.”
