The U.S. Secret Service shot and wounded an armed man from Indiana near the White House in the early hours of Sunday morning, March 9, 2025. Authorities report that the individual had been flagged as a "suicidal person" by local police before traveling to Washington, D.C. According to The New York Post, the confrontation occurred near the intersection of 17th and F Streets NW, close to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, just after midnight. Secret Service agents had located the suspect's vehicle in the area, and when they approached the man, he brandished a firearm. In response, the agents fired shots, injuring the individual, who was then taken to a local hospital. His condition remains undisclosed, but there were no injuries to Secret Service personnel. The investigation is now being led by the Metropolitan Police Department's Internal Affairs Division, as reported by The Associated Press. Authorities have not yet identified the suspect or provided details about his motives. President Donald Trump was not at the White House during the incident, as he was at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. This incident is not the first involving the Secret Service near the White House. In August 2020, agents shot a man outside the White House while a press briefing was being held inside the West Wing. The investigation continues, and authorities are expected to release further updates.
