A man who was brandishing a firearm in Washington, D.C., was shot by Secret Service officers near the White House on Sunday morning, the Secret Service said.
The man, who is thought to have been traveling from Indiana, had been flagged to the Secret Service by local police as a potential suicide risk, according to the agency. Officials came across the man's car, and found him nearby with a firearm, when an armed confrontation ensued, the Secret Service said.
The man was transported to a nearby hospital, and his condition is so far unknown. No Secret Service personnel are thought to have been harmed.
President Donald Trump was at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, at the time of the shooting, which occurred just one block away from the White House.
The full statement by the Secret Service is below:
"On Sunday March 9th, an adult male was shot by U.S. Secret Service personnel following an armed confrontation with law enforcement in Washington DC.
Earlier on Saturday, local police shared information about a suicidal individual who may be traveling to Washington DC from Indiana. Around midnight, members of the Secret Service encountered the individual's parked vehicle near 17th and F Streets, NW. They also saw an individual on foot matching the description nearby.
As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel.
The suspect was transported to an area hospital and his condition is unknown. There were no reported injuries to Secret Service personnel.
When someone drives from Indiana to the White House with a firearm, I guess NPR would have you believe it was to commit suicide.
I guess they don't want to report another left-wing lunatic took it upon themself to become an assassin.
The left and MSM have been trolling for monsters in the hope one of them is successful.
The good thing is that they get dumber as they go along.
