Washington — U.S. Secret Service officers shot an armed individual near 15th Street and Independence Avenue by the Washington Monument on Monday, the agency said. The confrontation prompted an immediate large law enforcement response and was confirmed in an official Secret Service post on X while details about the individual’s condition remained unreported. The White House was briefly locked down as agents escorted reporters into the briefing room; President Donald Trump, attending a nearby small business event, continued without interruption. D.C. Fire/EMS reported transporting an adult male to a hospital and treating an apparent teenage male for minor injuries, and the Secret Service and local police said investigations are ongoing.
