The US Secret Service shot an unidentified person near the White House in Washington, DC, on Sunday following an "armed confrontation." The incident happened about a block from the White House, on the west side of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. On Saturday, the agents were warned by local police of an alleged "suicidal" man travelling to Washington from Indiana. Around midnight, the Secret Service agents located the individual's parked vehicle near 17th and F Streets, NW, and also spotted a person on foot who matched the description nearby.President Donald Trump was not in the White House at the time of the incident as he was spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

“The incident is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department Internal Affairs Division’s Force Investigations Team, which investigates all law enforcement officer-involved shootings in the District of Columbia,” the Secret Service said.
