The state of health of man, which was hospitalized, “is unknown,” said the source. The agents were warned by the Local Police of the presence of a “suicide” that came to Washington from Indiana.
The authorities found the vehicle of the man parked very close to the White House around midnight.
They identified him around the land where the presidential residence is located, and there “an armed confrontation took place, during which our staff shot,” according to a statement published by Anthony Guglielmi in X.
The spokesman did not specify whether the White House or President Donald Trump could have been targets of the subject.
No secret service agent was injured.
“The suspect was transported to a nearby hospital and his condition is unknown,” said the spokesman, who added that Washington’s police investigates the incident.
Nor have the authorities revealed the identity of the individual.
