A uniformed Secret Service officer shot and critically wounded a man who brandished a gun outside the White House Friday afternoon, according to several law enforcement officials.
Police officials said the man approached a security gate and was shot after he was told to drop the gun and refused, according to two law enforcement officials. The man was rushed to a nearby hospital. Two officials said he had been shot in the chest.
Two officials said federal agents with bomb sniffing dogs were searching the suspected gunman’s vehicle near 17th Street and Constitution Avenue. Authorities found ammunition for a weapon, two law enforcement officials said.
The shooting near a security gate on West Executive Drive, near 17th Street shortly after 2 p.m., prompted a massive police response near the executive mansion.
Jaspreet Singh said a friend told him by text that he had been 10 yards from the guard shack when he heard police yell at man with a gun in his right hand. He texted that the man kept walking toward security before he was shot.
