Conservative podcaster Tim Pool has reported that he was approached by an individual who opened fire. He added, “But we have a security gate and armed guards, so maybe it dissuaded something more serious.”
Pool stated on social media after the incident occurred on Friday night: A vehicle pulled up near his property and discharged shots from within or nearby. There were no injuries reported.
In a subsequent post, he expressed that his initial reaction was “the possibility that they’re trying to scare me.” He did not specify additional details about the location of his property but listed Harpers Ferry, West Virginia on X, suggesting it might be in that area.
Speaking with Candace Owens via phone during an interview for The Daily Wire, Pool mentioned the studio’s history of receiving swatting threats. This year alone, they have experienced at least eight such incidents.
“Right after January 6th,” explained Pool, “following our live podcast recording session when we were filming on-site and encountered unexpected police presence at our door… We confirmed through our team members that this was indeed an instance of being swatted.”
He added: “We’ve had it roughly every week since then. It started right after January 6th. The first time was during the live broadcast; while recording, the security system mistakenly triggered and brought a SWAT team to our location… Then about seven days later, they targeted us again with fabricated accusations.”
Pool explained that these attacks have become more frequent, occurring roughly once per week for several months.
