White House placed on lockdown after shooting near JD Vance's motorcade
The White House was placed on lockdown after a shooting near the Washington Monument. A suspicious individual was identified and, after firing at Secret Service officers, shot himself. The shooting took place just moments after JD Vance had passed through the area, according to Deputy Director Mathew C Quinn. At the time, the Secret Service said: "U.S. Secret Service personnel are on the scene of an officer-involved shooting at 15th Street and Independence Avenue in Washington, D.C." "The incident resulted from a confrontation between an armed individual and Secret Service Police," another statement from the Secret Service said. A young person was hit in the incident and has been taken to hospital and is not suffering life threatening injuries.المصدر: Mirror | Source: Mirror
