WASHINGTON — The U.S. Secret Service fatally shot a person who opened fire on officers at a security checkpoint on Saturday in an exchange of gunfire that briefly locked down the White House, officials said.
The shooting happened shortly after 6 p.m. when a male approached the Secret Service checkpoint at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, pulled a gun from a bag and opened fire on officers, the Secret Service said in a statement.
The officers returned fire and shot the suspect, who was taken to a hospital, where he later died, the Secret Service said. The agency said the shooting remains under investigation.
A bystander was also shot, the Secret Service said, but it was unclear who fired the round that injured that person. Their condition was not immediately available.

The lunatic left has a lot to answer for.
Keep encouraging the crazies and maybe the Dem’s will get lucky. This keeps up it will no longer be news like the fact someone being shot every 3 hours in Chicago. Trying to get Trump is just a norm and THAT is exactly what the Left wants. How evil can you get, really.
We need common sense gun confiscation from ‘Rats.
Another lefty bites the dust.
Knee-jerk reaction: Trans shooter
“Previously known to DC police.”
Only question remains how many prior violent felonies and how many times a DEI DC judge let him out sans punishment,
WHO’S GOT TRANNY ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND?
Get back to meting out swift justice and start hanging these Wanna-Be assassins in public on the National Mall in Washington.
An f’in nother one?!? They call us violent????
They don’t call you a Nazi because you actually are a Nazi, they call you a Nazi so they can shoot you.
Washington, D.C., before all the world wars was a sleepy southern town that rolled up the sidewalks at night. During the summer months, when intense thunderstorms would roll through, motorists would quickly pull under the covered Portico at the White House to get out of the rain.
Don’t try that now
It took 5 people to write this article? Union rules no doubt so they all get paid extra...
Big time!
Agreed.
He needed killin’!
I saw that, too. And marveled at the lack of useful content.
The identity of the Secret Service shooter near the White House on May 23, 2026, has not been officially confirmed. While earlier incidents involved Michael Marx, a 45-year-old from Midland, Texas, who was shot by the Secret Service on May 4, 2026, after opening fire near the National Mall, the suspect in the today’s incident remains unnamed.
Details from the May 23 event:
The shooting occurred near the White House perimeter, prompting a brief lockdown.
President Donald Trump was inside the White House at the time.
Two individuals were reportedly hit by gunfire — the suspect and a bystander — and taken to the hospital.
The suspect was described as an emotionally disturbed person with a prior “stay away” order.
No Secret Service agents were injured.
Almost hope that is correct, but more plausibly, the guerilla left -- funded by the Democrats, the media, Soros -- is simply closing in on their target.
Which is going to inspire pre-emption and re-tribution.
