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.

Is this the fifth attempt on Trump’s life in the past 24 months, or have I forgotten some?
Ha! Is it because he seems to only have half a right ear?
Here we are day 488 and the mastermind of the Russia collusion coup attempt - Satans daughter herself, Hillary F. Clinton - is still free as air laughing it up. Just try to imagine if the roles were reversed what they would be doing to Trump right now.
