Tim Pool, a prominent right-wing podcaster known for his work on The Culture War Podcast, reported on social media that an individual or individuals opened fire while approaching his property on a recent Friday night. Pool stated that there were no injuries resulting from the incident and that his security team is currently reviewing the situation to prepare a report for law enforcement.

In his posts, Pool expressed concern that the incident might have been an attempt to intimidate him, noting the presence of a security gate and armed guards at his residence, which he suggested may have deterred a more serious threat. Pool's location is listed as Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, although he did not specify the exact site of the incident.

The Harpers Ferry Police Department indicated that the reported event did not occur within their jurisdiction and referred inquiries to the West Virginia State Police and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. A spokesperson from the West Virginia State Police stated they had no information regarding the incident, and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office was unavailable for comment outside of business hours.

Responses to Pool's post included comments from notable figures such as conservative commentator Megyn Kelly, who expressed concern over the increasing frequency of such incidents, and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who labeled the event as terrifying and emphasized the need for collective opposition to political violence and intimidation, regardless of the individuals involved.

In a related context, Pool has previously been in the news regarding allegations against employees of Russia’s state-controlled media outlet, Russia Today, concerning a purported propaganda scheme involving right-wing media personalities. Pool claimed that if the allegations were accurate, he and others were misled and considered themselves victims of the situation. He has also criticized the Justice Department's handling of the case, asserting that the evidence presented was insufficient.

Additionally, Pool gained attention for purchasing an improvised skatepark in West Virginia, following disputes with local skateboarders, which he attributed to personal animosities rather than broader community issues.
