The Secret Service is announcing that there was an officer-involved shooting near the White House, near the USDA headquarters.
Her’s what they announced:

We don’t have any info to add at the moment. I’d say it could be innocent, but is there an officer-involved shooting that is? But what I mean is that, at the very least, I hope it wasn’t someone trying to get to the White House. I’d say I seriously doubt that’s the case, but you never know with these leftist loons.
UPDATE:
NEWS: A U.S. Secret Service officer shot an individual near the Washington Monument, prompting the Secret Service to briefly place the White House on lockdown.
The adult male was transported to the hospital and is conscious and breathing, according to 7News DC.
