Fox News has learned the name of the suspect shot by U.S. Secret Service officers near the White House this week. 

Michael Marx, a 45-year-old Texan, has been identified as the individual seen allegedly carrying a firearm just blocks from the White House on Monday, sources told Fox News on Tuesday.

Secret Service Uniformed Division officers engaged the suspect after he was observed pulling a gun, a federal source previously told Fox News Digital. 

In a news conference, Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn told reporters that the suspect allegedly shot in the direction of officers after they tried to confront him near 15th Street and Independence Avenue, causing the agents to return fire.

 A juvenile suspect was also struck by the suspect and sustained non-life-threatening injuries, Quinn said. 

Quinn said the confrontation began after trained surveillance personnel spotted a “visual print” of a weapon.

“My understanding is they observed a print,” Quinn said. “These are trained surveillance detection personnel out there looking every day to look for just that… and they observed a visual print of a firearm.”

DC NATIONAL GUARD SHOOTING SUSPECT FORMALLY CHARGED

“Upon making contact, that individual fled briefly on foot, withdrew a firearm and fired in the direction of our agents and officers,” Quinn said. “They returned fire and engaged.”

Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade had passed through the area not long before the shooting, but the incident appears to be unrelated, according to Quinn.  

Quinn also dismissed questions regarding whether the suspect was targeting President Donald Trump in light of the recent attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.

 “I can’t say — I’m not going to guess on that,” Quinn said. “I can tell you that every time, we’re patrolling this area. In every site, we do 24/7, hardcore, whether or not it was directed to the president or not, I don’t know. But we will find out.”

Marx was subsequently transported to a local hospital, though his condition has not yet been released by authorities.

Additionally, prosecutors have not yet revealed what charges Marx may face stemming from the alleged incident.

As the Golden State Warriors‘ dynasty continues to fade, veteran Draymond Green is making sure he’s going down swinging.

Gone are the days of blind confidence in the dynastic yet turbulent Warriors teams.

Growing buzz surrounding the team now points to its impending demise: talk of coach Steve Kerr‘s exit, calls for a roster overhaul, and, loudest of all (as expected), Draymond Green’s role on the sinking ship, which has turned into meaty podcast fodder for the outspoken Warriors forward.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

Recently on his pod, Green took aim at Kerr, who coached that dynasty to four NBA championships. Green suggested Kerr didn’t guide his career, but limited it.

“As much as Steve has done for me in basketball, part of me thinks he’s hindered me in my career and what I could have become. When I think of who I was offensively as a player and who I became, I think part of that is due to him. He hasn’t drawn up a play for me since 2017.”

BUCKS PART WAYS WITH DOC RIVERS AFTER NBA PLAYOFF MISS: REPORT

On the outside, former NBA lottery pick Austin Rivers wasn’t buying it, and a fiery back-and-forth was born.

Appearing on The Dan Patrick Show, Rivers flipped the argument, framing Green not as a victim of the system but its biggest beneficiary.

“You were the luckiest basketball player I think I’ve ever seen. You were drafted to a franchise with a Hall of Fame front office, Hall of Fame coach, the greatest shooter of all time and perhaps a top five player of all time. Not to mention one of the most lethal scorers of all time and arguably a top 10 player of all time, Kevin Durant, the same guy you chased off because you talk too much. Steve Kerr made your career. How dare you?”

Draymond fired back by shifting away from basketball and into personal territory.

Green mocked the contract Rivers signed with the Clippers in 2016 while his father, Doc Rivers, was running the team, also invoking President Trump’s name in a slight.

“Everything isn’t something you should speak on. Rivers received the biggest bailout in U.S. history prior to President Trump bailing out the airlines. I wish I could give my son $200 million if I was a coach. You were gone from your first team in two years while I’m still here.”

DRAYMOND GREEN UPSET WITH ‘AGENDA’ THAT HE IS AN ‘ANGRY BLACK MAN’

In response to Green on Tuesday, Rivers did not back down.

He openly called out Green’s volatility, including the 2022 punch of teammate Jordan Poole, and questioned his maturity.

“You don’t have the wherewithal to do your due diligence and actually understand I was being highly complimentary to you. It’s you, and I shouldn’t be surprised.

“You always act irrationally and emotionally immature, and your anger always puts you in hot water, so here I am having to address a video of you belittling my career. Yeah, the NBA doesn’t give coaching jobs to guys who may or may not sucker punch one of the players or staff.”

Amid all the haymakers, both sides took hits, though Green still has the hardware to flex over Rivers. Draymond may have never eclipsed teammates Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, or even Kevin Durant during his stint, when it comes to being the key championship piece, but his role as the roster’s glue is undeniable. Rivers has never played a role as integral as Green’s.

Still, Rivers is pointing to a reality many have argued for years: Kerr did not limit Green.

Now, as Golden State faces an uncertain offseason, Green’s comments raise larger questions.

Are we finally at the end of the Warriors’ run? And how much of it was Draymond’s fault?

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday unveiled a new initiative targeting what he described as the “overuse” of psychiatric medications, part of a broader push to confront the nation’s mental health crisis.

Speaking Monday at a Make America Healthy Again Institute summit, Kennedy said the effort will emphasize the appropriate deprescribing of psychiatric drugs while shifting care toward prevention and more holistic treatment approaches.

“Today, we take clear and decisive action to confront our nation’s mental health crisis by addressing the overuse of psychiatric medications — especially among children,” Kennedy said in a statement. 

“We will support patient autonomy, require informed consent and shared decision-making, and shift the standard of care toward prevention, transparency, and a more holistic approach to mental health.”

Antidepressants rank among the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States, with a 2025 survey of over 30,000 adults showing that 16.6% were using them, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Kennedy stressed the effort is not about forcing patients off medication, the outlet reported.

“Let me be clear: If you are taking psychiatric medication, we are not telling you to stop,” Kennedy said. “We are making sure you — and your clinician — have the information and support to make the right decision for you.”

In a letter released Monday, HHS urged providers to prioritize informed consent and shared decision-making, and to routinely reassess the risks and benefits of psychiatric medications with patients.

The department also highlighted other ways to treat mental health issues, including therapy, family support, better nutrition and exercise, when appropriate.

At the same time, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced new guidance allowing physicians to be reimbursed for helping patients safely taper off psychiatric medications and monitor withdrawal.

The plan also includes a new report on prescribing trends, more training for doctors, and a panel of experts to guide future decisions on medication use.

An HHS spokesperson pointed to rising prescription rates among children, including increases in ADHD diagnoses and antidepressant use, arguing the trend reflects “overmedicalization” and a need to expand non-drug, evidence-based treatment options.

“HHS is committed to elevating the role of nonmedication treatments and scalable, evidence-based solutions to improve mental health and prevent the unnecessary initiation of psychiatric medications,” an HHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Happy Tuesday, you fine people. I have just returned from a girls’ trip to Savannah, Georgia.

A real girls’ trip — not the kind Dianna Russini takes, where there are no girls but there is a married NFL head coach. It was a great time celebrating one of my high school best friends, who never got to have a bachelorette party because her original one was canceled (thanks, COVID rules) in 2020.

Except now we’re all old and married so instead of a bachelorette, we called it a “wives party.”

On Saturday, we signed up for a walking history tour. Unfortunately, it poured down rain the entire time. But like the U.S. Postal Service, we persisted. And I’m glad we did.

In all seriousness, if you like to nerd out a little bit, you need to check out Genteel & Bard’s Savannah History Walking Tour and ask for David. We learned so much about the city, the houses, murder most foul, all sorts of stuff I never knew before. I cannot recommend it enough.

I cannot say the same about the rooftop slide at Electric Moon.

My athleticism — even after multiple vodka sodas — is unmatched.

Anyway, are you ready for some Nightcaps? Pour yourself a culturally appropriating Cinco de Mayo margarita, and let’s dive in.

The Met Gala never disappoints

Last night was the Met Gala. You know, the annual douche parade where celebrities deck themselves out in the most ridiculous costumes imaginable and circle jerk over how rich they are.

I love it.

The theme of the 2026 Met Gala was “Costume Art” with a dress code of “Fashion Is Art.” Which feels pretty open-ended, if we’re being honest.

Now, I don’t pretend to know anything about high fashion. But it seems pretty clear to me that no matter what the theme of the night is, the celebrities are just going to wear whatever the heck they want anyway with absolutely no discernible cohesion. Or maybe I’m too much of a simple-minded peasant to understand.

Anyway, let’s take a look at some of this year’s show-stoppers, complete with my expert commentary.

Listen, this might be an unpopular opinion in OutKick-land, but I actually really like Angel Reese. I think she’s beautiful, very savvy at marketing and branding, and when I interviewed her at All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, she could not have been more kind.

That said, this dress looks like she just pulled the duvet off her hotel bed and tied it around her waist. Hair and makeup are on point, though.

Madonna rolled up with a whole model ship on her head.

I will give her credit, though, for actually taking the theme seriously. This look was supposed to emulate a 1945 painting by Leonora Carrington called “The Temptation of St. Anthony. Fragment II.” And she pretty much nailed it.

However, Met Gala tickets reportedly cost $100,000 each this year. And I need to know whether Madonna was required to purchase one for each of the seven women she brought to hold her veil.

Rachel Zegler, what are you doing with your face?

No matter the theme, no matter the occasion. The Kardashian-Jenners do not miss an opportunity to wear a corset that squeezes their internal organs to their absolute limits.

I do love that Kylie probably told her team “Fashion is art? Find me an artwork that’s naked!” RIP to her eyebrows, though.

A 6-year-old version of me would have lost her mind over a dress that blows bubbles.

Someone on Instagram said Cardi B’s dress looked like hemorrhoids, and I can’t unsee it.

OK this one was actually really cool! And I love that Sabrina didn’t go full-on clown makeup like she usually does. (Yes, this is still a lot of makeup, but it’s nowhere close to what she wears for shows.)

Anyway, here’s some more.

And let’s wrap this up with the queen of costumes, Heidi Klum. And yes, she took the theme seriously.

Haley Cavinder puts Jake Ferguson through Pilates hell

The Cavinder twins are athletes and Sports Illustrated swimsuit models. They have to keep their bodies in tip-top shape. And according to their social media, they do so through a combination of strength training, cardio and Pilates.

Speaking of Pilates, Haley Cavinder decided she was sick of her NFL fiancé, Jake Ferguson, not taking her workouts seriously. So she made him try Reformer Pilates. And he… struggled.

I’ve done plenty of Pilates in my life. And I can tell you that a Pilates studio would never allow someone to stand on the Reformer in their very first class. Major liability.

Still, 244-pound, 6-foot-5 Jake Ferguson might be able to run a 4.81-second 40-yard dash and jump 31.5 inches. But he clearly needs to work on his balance and flexibility.

And now maybe he’ll stop giving Haley a hard time.

Skydiver suffers wardrobe malfunction

Before I went hang gliding for the first time last weekend, I asked my husband, “What do you think I’m supposed to wear for something like this?” He had no advice except that I should probably wear something with long sleeves because a) I’m always cold and b) it’s probably a little chilly soaring through the air at 1,500 feet.

Turns out, this was great advice. I was shivering the whole time.

All of that to say there really is no specific hang gliding attire. There is, however, a suggested dress code for skydiving. And if you’re a well-endowed woman, that includes one very important garment: a sports bra.

A 26-year-old woman named Chanell ‘t Zand learned that lesson the hard way.

Channell deployed the parachute AND the air bags.

I’ll see myself out.

Mother’s Day is upon us

Yes, ladies and gents, Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 10. So if you haven’t already figured out what you’re going to do to celebrate the special moms in your life, you’d best hop to it.

Do you share a bed with your dog?

I came across an interesting discussion on the Post Moves podcast (hosted by WNBA legend Candace Parker and Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston) about whether dogs should be allowed to sleep with you in the bed. Candace and Aliyah both have dachshunds (although Candace mentioned she has two more dogs as well), and they answered with a resounding YES.

Now, I am a dog person through and through. If you’ve been reading my work for longer than five minutes, you know this about me. You probably also know I’m obsessed with my 2-year-old German shepherd, Rocky. So it might surprise you to find out that… no, my husband and I do not allow him on the bed.

My previous dog, a 45-pound mutt, was allowed on the bed. But an 80-pound heavy-shedding, can-barely-sit-still fur missile is a different story. Even with a king-size bed, that’s a tight squeeze. We would get no sleep.

He is allowed on all other furniture, though, and he pretty much owns our sectional. So there’s no need to cue up the sad Sarah McLachlan music for the poor guy.

We are sending all the prayers and good vibes to Gus

CL in CT Writes: I know you are a huge dog person and wanted to share a few pics of my 5-year-old Golden Retriever Gus. He was diagnosed with osteosarcoma back in October. The prognosis for that cancer is pretty bleak. So we did what the doctors recommended and had the leg amputated and rounds of chemo. He had to have a second surgery as another cancer spot was found after the rear leg amputation.

He was also accepted into a trial program with Yale University for cancer therapy. He has had 2 rounds and has not missed a beat! Thought you might like to see a few pics of my cancer fighter!

What a handsome boy. (Photo Courtesy of reader CL in CT)

We are rooting for you, Gus! (Photo Courtesy of reader CL in CT.)

Amber:

I certainly understand how tough it is to watch your pup battle cancer. They are such perfect souls — they don’t deserve that awful disease. Especially at just 5-years-old.

Gus is lucky to have you, CL, and we are all rooting for him to come out of this like a champ!

‘One truly cool canine’

Reader Gene in the Rock introduced me to Sapper, who was named USO K9 Volunteer of the Year for his outstanding dedication, loyalty and service to our military community.

“From comforting troops during long days to lifting spirits when it’s needed most, 8-year-old, Sapper, embodies everything the USO Canine Program stands for — connection, resilience, and unwavering support for those who serve,” Fort Bragg posted on social media.

“Thank you, Sapper, for the joy you bring to our Soldiers, families, and the entire military community. Well‑deserved recognition for a four‑legged hero who makes a real difference every day.”

Drew in Katy, Texas, has thoughts about last Tuesday’s Nightcaps

Drew Writes: Enjoyed the Outkick article tonight… well maybe except for the sick Rocky episode. Wishing him a speedy recovery regardless.

There’s an easy answer to “But an even better question: Who took these photos and held onto them for six years?!” The answer is someone who (1) might need some cash from a tabloid someday, or (2) might want some leverage on the people in the photo in the future.  

A Sevierville vacation was the a favorite for our family. We rented a cabin on the lake nearby. Yes, the zip lines were the highlight. Convincing myself to flip upside down for a long zip line run was a fun thrill at 56 years old. 

As to witches, listen to the famous Catholic Priest and exorcist, Fr. Chad Ripperger: Levels of Spiritual Warfare & Our Lady – January 25th 2024. He explains three levels of people involved in the occult and mentions those in the public versus the really serious ones.  Start with the section from the 55 to 57 minute mark.  If you want to have your mind blown, listen to the entire 1 hour 20 minutes someday. 

Healthy huskies lay off the bad cholesterol

Elliott C. Writes: I’m thinking about bacon. I once forgot to pull bacon out of the freezer and only had 3 pieces or bacon for breakfast 1 Saturday. Flipping bacon often and cooking on a medium heat helps keep the bacon flat. I hate when you buy a 4 lb pack of bacon at Costco and 1 pack is a really bad cut.

These guys never get bacon or any other table food:

Rescue beagle is living the good life

Rob R. Writes: I love your column on OutKick! I attached two photos of our Beagle, Mason. He was a rescue, but not just any rescue. He was from Envigo -a medical testing lab, which only used Beagles. I attached a story so you can hopefully pass on in one of columns about how these dogs were treated and how so many wonderful people did everything they could to rescue and find wonderful homes for them. Our Mason is doing well and although he’s still not a big fan of people, it was one of the best decisions to get him!
