A person was shot by law enforcement officers near the Washington Monument on Monday afternoon, according to the U.S. Secret Service, prompting a brief lockdown of the White House.
The incident occurred just blocks from the White House, in the vicinity of the Washington Monument on the National Mall. The Secret Service confirmed that its officers were involved in the shooting. The agency did not immediately release the identity or condition of the individual who was shot.
The White House was placed on lockdown as a security precaution shortly after the shooting was reported. The lockdown was lifted a short time later, and operations at the White House returned to normal. No injuries to White House personnel or protectees were reported.
The Secret Service has not provided additional details about the circumstances that led to the shooting, including whether the individual was armed or what prompted officers to fire. The area around the Washington Monument is patrolled by multiple law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Park Police and the Secret Service.
The lockdown of the White House, while brief, underscored the security protocols in place for the executive mansion. The Secret Service routinely implements such measures in response to potential threats in the vicinity. The agency said it would release further information as the investigation continues.
