YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA Secret Service officer shot an individual Monday after the person reportedly discharged a firearm in the direction of law enforcement near the Washington Monument, a little more than a half mile from the White House.
Matt Quinn, the agency’s deputy director, said uniformed Secret Service officers attempted to make contact with the individual after noticing a firearm print. The suspect then fled on foot, drew a weapon and fired at officers.
The suspect’s gunfire struck one juvenile bystander, who did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
Mr. Quinn said the suspect was taken to a hospital but declined to comment on the individual’s condition.
The incident occurred shortly after Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade passed through the area, though there is no indication it was the target.
The White House briefly went into lockdown due to the incident, and journalists on the North Lawn were ushered back into the briefing room.
