The U.S. Secret Service shot an armed man outside the White House early on Sunday (March 9, 2025) after a confrontation, and the man is now in an area hospital, it said in a statement.
President Donald Trump was not in the residence at the time, as he is spending the weekend at his Florida residence.
Secret Service officials received a tip on Saturday from local authorities that a suicidal person may be traveling to Washington from Indiana and the person’s car was found a block from the White House, it said in a statement.
The man brandished a firearm as officers approached him and shots were fired shortly after midnight local time.
He was taken to an area hospital and his condition was not known.
