The incident occurred shortly after midnight near the intersection of 17th and F Streets NW, just one block from the White House.<\/p>\n

According to the Secret Service, local police had alerted them on Saturday about a \u201csuicidal individual\u201d who was possibly traveling to Washington, D.C., from Indiana. Officers later located the suspect\u2019s parked vehicle and spotted a man on foot who matched the description.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm, and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,\u201d the Secret Service said in a statement released on X by agency spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi.<\/p>\n

The suspect was transported to a nearby hospital, and his condition remains unknown. No injuries were reported among Secret Service personnel.<\/p>\n

The Secret Service is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security tasked with conducting criminal investigations and providing protection to U.S. political leaders, their families, and visiting heads of state or government.<\/p>\n

The agency confirmed that the Sunday incident is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department\u2019s Internal Affairs Division\u2019s Force Investigations Team, which reviews all law enforcement officer-involved shootings in the District of Columbia.<\/p>\n
