Right-wing political commentator Tim Pool says his residence was targeted in a shooting incident Friday night, claiming that an unidentified person in a vehicle drove toward his property and opened fire before fleeing.
Pool shared the information publicly on X, where he stated that no individuals were physically harmed, and that his private security team is now reviewing the event and preparing to relay information to law enforcement.
Pool, who owns a media production company and has a large online audience, did not specify whether he was at the property at the time of the shooting. He also did not identify the location of the residence.
While public records show Pool has ties to Tennessee, his media operations are based in West Virginia, leaving it uncertain which state the alleged incident occurred in.
The Daily Mail reported that both Pool and the relevant local police departments were contacted for comment, though as of publication, no further statements or confirmation from authorities had been released.
In his follow-up post, Pool suggested the individual behind the shooting may have intended to frighten him rather than carry out a more direct attack. He pointed to the presence of armed security personnel and a gated property entrance, saying it was “possible this deterred something more serious.”
He did not speculate beyond this or provide further identifying information about the alleged shooter, the vehicle, or whether shots struck the home or the surrounding property.
The announcement generated immediate reactions online from several high-profile conservative figures.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded publicly, calling the situation “terrifying” and stating that “everyone must stand together against this type of political violence and intimidation,” emphasizing that such reactions should remain consistent regardless of differing political views.
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly also reacted to Pool’s report, describing the situation as “awful” and expressing concern about “things… getting out of control and… happening more frequently.” She concluded her response by stating she was “praying for [Pool’s] safety.”
Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn—who previously served under President Donald Trump as national security adviser during part of the former president’s first term—called the reported shooting a sign of rising instability.
Flynn urged the Trump administration to address growing domestic tensions and claimed that “those who foment false flags and fake crises” could worsen civic divisions.
Flynn did not provide evidence that the incident was politically motivated but warned that a “deeply divided society” creates conditions that may encourage violence.
Pool, who previously considered himself a political liberal before shifting toward conservative audiences, has amassed a significant following through political commentary, cultural commentary, and media production.
His YouTube channels and digital media brand produce a variety of shows, and he also markets consumer brands such as skateboards and coffee.
Pool has, at times, publicly criticized Republican figures, including President Donald Trump and conservative commentator Candace Owens, despite his popularity among conservative viewers.
As of now, Pool has not provided additional details regarding the reported shooting. No suspects have been identified publicly, and law enforcement has not confirmed the incident or released an investigative statement.
The situation remains under review according to Pool’s security personnel. Investigation updates are pending.
