Three people were shot, including two National Guardsmen, in Washington, DC, Wednesday afternoon, leading to a lockdown at the White House.
WJLA reported that the alleged shooter is in custody.
The Associated Press noted that the condition of the injured Guardsmen is not known. The Joint DC Task Force confirmed the incident occurred “in the vicinity of the White House.”
The Daily Mail pointed out that the White House was locked down following news of the shooting.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The White House is aware and actively monitoring this tragic situation. The President has been briefed.”
Update: The New York Times reported that the two National Guard members were shot “at the entrance to the Farragut West Metro Station.” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth described the shooting as “cowardly” and said, “[It will] only stiffen our resolve to ensure that we make Washington D.C. safe and beautiful.”
