The US Secret Service shot an armed man outside the White House early on Sunday after a confrontation, and the man is now in an area hospital, it said in a statement.
President Donald Trump was not in the White House 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 travelling to Washington from Indiana and the person’s car was found a block from the White House, it said in the statement. The man brandished a firearm as officers approached him and the Secret Service opened fire shortly after midnight local time.
