Secret Service shoots man in overnight ‘armed confrontation’ near White House

The shooting took place after police were notified about a suicidal man in the area.

The Secret Service shot a man during an armed confrontation near the White House Sunday, the agency announced.

The incident took place just after midnight, about a block west of the White House near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

In a statement, the Secret Service said that earlier on Saturday police shared information about a suicidal individual who may have been traveling to Washington, D.C., from Indiana.

At around midnight, members of the Secret Service encountered the man’s parked car near 17th and F Streets, NW, and saw a person matching his description nearby.

“As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,” the agency wrote in a statement.

“The suspect was rushed to an area hospital and his condition is unknown.”
