    An armed adult man was shot by US Secret Service personnel on Sunday
    morning outside the White House, the agency announced shortly after the incident.

    President Donald Trump was not at the White House Sunday morning.

    According to Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi,
    USSS received information about a �suicidal individual� who was traveling
    to DC from Indiana. Guglielmi said in a statement that USSS members saw a person matching the description near the White House and found their
    parked car.

    �As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,� Guglielmi said.

    The person was taken to the hospital, and his condition remains unknown.

    The US Secret Service said there were no injuries to members of their personnel.

    On March 8, DC Metropolitan police sent out a �BOLO� received from police
    in North Manchester, Indiana concerning a 27-year-old man driving to the Washington, DC area who may be armed, emotionally disturbed, and possibly trying to attempt suicide by cop, multiple law enforcement sources told
    CNN.

    Officers found the man on foot just outside the Eisenhower Executive
    Office Building and about a block from the White House, the sources said.
    The officers confronted the man who pointed the gun at himself, ignored commands to drop the weapon and turned the gun in the direction of the
    Secret Service agents and officers, according to the law enforcement
    sources briefed on the incident. The officers then fired an unknown number
    of shots. An additional weapon, a rifle, was found in the car, according
    to the sources briefed.

    DC Metropolitan Police�s Internal Affairs Division Force Investigations
    Team will lead the investigation into the incident, Guglielmi said, as
    they are the primary agency responsible for officer involved shootings in
    the District of Columbia.

    DC Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement Sunday they had no further details on the investigation.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
    eradicated.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
    fiasco, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
