According to the Athens Banner-Herald, Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) got a doozy of a question at a town hall meeting Tuesday.

The reporter couldn't hear the question, but reported that the "whatever it was, it got a big laugh."

Later, a Broun spokesperson confirmed to the reporter that the question was, in fact, "Who is going to shoot Obama?"

According to the Athens paper, Congressman Broun did not denounce the question, but responded:

The thing is, I know there’s a lot of frustration with this president. We’re going to have an election next year. Hopefully, we’ll elect somebody that’s going to be a conservative, limited-government president that will take a smaller, who will sign a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Today the United States Secret Service said they interviewed the subject. "We've taken appropriate investigative steps. At this point we consider the matter closed," Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan told CNN.
