In the shadow of the nation's most guarded address, violence broke through the ordinary rhythms of a Wednesday afternoon in Washington. At least two National Guard members were shot in Farragut Square, a public park just blocks from the White House, prompting the Secret Service to secure the presidential complex and police to take a suspect into custody. The incident is a reminder that proximity to power offers no immunity from the unpredictable currents of human conflict, and that the work of understanding why such moments occur often outlasts the immediate response to them.
