A shooting occurred near the White House on Saturday evening when an armed individual opened fire at a Secret Service security booth. The incident took place around 6 p.m. local time at the intersection of 176th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Secret Service officers returned fire, fatally wounding the suspect, who was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. One passerby was also shot, though authorities have not confirmed whether the injury resulted from the suspect’s gunfire or the exchange of shots.
The U.S. Secret Service confirmed the incident in a statement, saying preliminary findings indicated the suspect had concealed a weapon in a bag and drew it at a checkpoint. No Secret Service personnel were injured. At the time of the shooting, President Donald Trump was inside the White House, which was immediately placed under lockdown as a security precaution.
Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives posted on social media confirming the president’s safety. House Republican leader Steve Scalise expressed concern, noting that the nation was living in dangerous times. The event follows another shooting incident in Washington, D.C., less than a month earlier.
