George W. Bush

==== 2001 White House shooting ====
On February 7, 2001, while Bush was in the residence area of the White House, Robert Pickett, standing outside the perimeter fence, discharged a number of shots from a Taurus .38 Special revolver "in the general direction" of the White House. Pickett was shot in the knee by a [[U.S. Secret Service]] agent and arrested. Furthermore, he was initially charged with discharging a firearm during a crime, carrying a 10-year mandatory sentence, but following a plea agreement, Pickett instead entered a guilty plea to a firearms violation and an [[Alford plea]] to assaulting a federal officer. He was sentenced to three years at the [[Federal Medical Center, Rochester]] followed by three years of probation.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://timelines.latimes.com/us-presidential-assassinations-and-attempts/|title=U.S. presidential assassinations and attempts|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|access-date=December 3, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=121847|title=Pickett Charged With Assaulting Federal Officer|work=[[ABC News]]|access-date=October 22, 2020|date=January 6, 2006|first=Larry|last=Margasak}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.historyonthenet.com/robert-pickett|title=Robert Pickett: Firing Shots on GW Bush|work=HistoryOnTheNet.com|access-date=October 22, 2020}}</ref>
