Senator Rand Paul’s office was rocked by a shocking incident over the weekend, as one of his staffers was brutally attacked in broad daylight in Washington D.C. The incident, which occurred less than 1.5 miles from the U.S. Capitol, left the victim with what police have described as “life-threatening” injuries.
According to reports, the victim, who has not been named, was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. It is not yet clear what the motive behind the attack was, and police are continuing to investigate the incident.
In the meantime, Senator Paul has expressed his shock and dismay at the attack, stating that he and his wife are praying for their staff member’s speedy and complete recovery. He also expressed his relief at the news that a suspect had been arrested in connection with the attack.
The suspect, identified as 42-year-old Glynn Neal, has been charged with assault with intent to kill. Police have not released any further details about the suspect or his possible motive for the attack.
The incident has raised concerns about safety in the nation’s capital, especially in light of recent events, including the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. It is yet another reminder of the need for greater security measures to be put in place to protect government officials and their staff from harm.
