PEORIA, Ariz. - It's the other picture involving President Obama that has Arizonans in hot water.

Just a day ago, it was a picture of Gov. Jan Brewer pointing a finger in the face of President Obama.

But another picture has the Secret Service investigating.

That picture shows several teens, a few of them with guns in hand, holding an Obama t-shirt that is riddled with bullets.

The man who snapped that picture -- is Peoria Sgt. Pat Shearer.

"I think it was more of a political statement. Obviously, it's not like they were going to go out and shoot the president, no."

Shearer tells ABC15.com that he's embarassed, but maintains he would give his life for the president's.

The Secret Service is now investigating.

    The Kill Bush signs and pictures of GWB with a Hitler mustache and swastika? Of course not because the liberal media never exposed and criticized it. Typical left wing attitude of playing politics and garner sympathy against those dog gone mean old haters.

    How is this illegal or unethical? Who really cares if he shoots a picture of me or of Obama. It does not mean he is going to shoot either of us, nor does it mean he is a poor government official.

    can hang mccain and burn palin and be protected by the 1st and without a word being said in main stream media but the hanging obama and the shot up private property is the blackest of crimes? No pun intended.
