In the Shadow of Two Gunmen: Part I
Part 1 of 2. The Bartlet administration is in chaos---an assassination attempt has left the White House (not to mention the country) reeling. Who was hit? Was anyone killed? Who did it? And why? The episode includes flashbacks detailing how the administration came to be. Oh, and one more thing: there's a downed fighter pilot in Iraq.
Summary
Part One: An assassination attempt yields casualties; a military crisis looms in Iraq.
While the staff awaits news regarding the injuries to Jed and Josh, they recall how Josh, Sam, and Toby became involved in the campaign three years earlier; Leo, Toby, and C.J. deal with inquiries on Secret Service protection policies, as well as the absence of executive authority while Jed was in surgery.
