On the night of March 9, in Washington, near the White House, an armed man was shot by US Secret Service officers. This was reported by the press secretary of the agency, Anthony Guglielmi, on his page on the social network.
According to NBC News, the incident occurred last night. Local police paid attention to a "suicidal man" who was traveling from Indiana to the capital. Secret Service agents noticed the suspect moving on foot and later found his car. When they approached the armed man, he pulled out his firearm, and then the shooting began.
The suspect was hospitalized, but his condition is not yet known. No Secret Service personnel were injured. Law enforcement is currently investigating the incident.
Also, last fall, US Secret Service agents opened fire when they saw an assault rifle in the bushes near Donald Trump's golf club. The suspect fled, but was later arrested in a neighboring county. Meanwhile, an AK-74 assault rifle, an optical sight, two backpacks, and a GoPro video camera were found in the bushes.
The investigation is currently ongoing, and it is expected that more accurate information will be developed regarding the true causes of the incident near the White House, its true purpose, and future security measures.
