NextImg:BREAKING: Secret Service shoots armed man near White House – The Right Scoop

It’s being reported that the Secret Service engaged and shot an armed adult male near the White House just after midnight. This comes after local law enforcement reported that the man, who they described as ‘suicidal’, was traveling to DC from Indiana.

Here’s more from NBC News:

The U.S. Secret Service shot an adult male near the White House in Washington, D.C., shortly after midnight on Sunday after an “armed confrontation” with law enforcement, according to the agency.

The encounter happened near the intersection of 17th and F Streets NW.

On Saturday, local police had reported a “suicidal individual” possibly traveling to D.C. from Indiana, the agency said. Secret Service personnel later located the individual’s vehicle and spotted a person on foot who matched the description.

“As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm, and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,” the Secret Service said Sunday in a statement shared on X by spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

The suspect was transported to a hospital and his condition is currently unknown.

The statement also said no injuries were reported among Secret Service personnel, and that the incident was under investigation.

I’d be shocked if the man survived an armed engagement with the Secret Service. Also President Trump is not scheduled to return from Mar-a-Lago until tonight, so if that’s why the man came to DC he was sorely out of luck anyway.
