WASHINGTON: US Secret Service agents shot a gunman near the White House, a spokesman said early Sunday, adding that the man had been hospitalized and his condition was “unknown.”
The agents had earlier been warned by local police of a “suicidal” man traveling to Washington from Indiana, and encountered him on a street very near the White House, where “an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,” according to a statement posted by spokesman Anthony Guglielmi on X.
