Armed Man Shot At By US Secret Service After “Confrontation” Near White House

Washington, DC:

The US Secret Service shot a man near the White House in Washington, DC shortly after midnight on Sunday (local time) after an “armed confrontation” with law enforcement. President Donald Trump was in Florida at the time of the shooting.

The incident happened about a block from the White House, on the west side of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. On Saturday, the agents were warned by local police of an alleged “suicidal” man travelling to Washington from Indiana.

Around midnight, the Secret Service agents located the individual’s parked vehicle near 17th and F Streets, NW, and also spotted a person on foot who matched the description nearby.
