A live blog report covers an armed incident near the White House in Washington, D.C., where a suspect approached a security checkpoint at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue and opened fire on Secret Service officers. According to law enforcement statements, the suspect drew a firearm from a bag and began shooting, prompting officers to return fire. The suspect was struck, taken to hospital and later died from his injuries. A bystander was also hit during the exchange of gunfire and was transported to hospital in serious or critical condition, although it was not immediately clear who fired the shot that injured them. No Secret Service personnel were injured in the incident. Authorities confirmed that the White House was briefly placed into lockdown while the situation was brought under control. FBI and Secret Service teams responded to the scene, and investigations are ongoing. Officials said President Donald Trump was inside the White House at the time of the shooting but was not harmed and that no protectees were impacted. Early reports described the suspect as an emotionally disturbed individual who had previously been subject to a stay-away order. Journalists on the ground reported hearing gunfire and taking cover as the incident unfolded, with some broadcast footage capturing the chaotic moment near the White House grounds. Law enforcement later contained the scene, and evidence markers were placed in the area as part of the investigation. The situation is being treated as an active law enforcement matter, with further details expected as inquiries continue.
