On Monday afternoon, a man was shot by law enforcement after he opened fire near the Washington Monument, close to the White House, where President Donald Trump was attending a business event. Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn reported that agents spotted the man with a gun around 3:30 p.m. ET and attempted to apprehend him. The suspect fled and fired at uniformed officers, who returned fire, resulting in the suspect being hospitalized. A minor was also injured during the incident, although it remains unclear if they were hit by the suspect's gunfire. The area was secured, and the White House experienced a temporary lockdown as authorities responded. Investigators from the Washington, D.C., police are looking into the shooting, and it is currently unknown if the incident was directed at President Trump.
