CIA security officers had been negotiating for hours when the person got out of a car holding a gun and was shot by FBI agents.
A man who tried to drive into CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, on Monday was shot by FBI agents after an hourslong standoff, officials said.
Two law enforcement officials said the intruder tried to drive into the CIA facility without access at about 6 p.m. ET, and was stopped by armed guards who operate a series of gates. CIA security officers had been negotiating with man and after he repeatedly refused to move, a decision was made to try to push the car out of the way.
A short time later, he got out of his car and brandished a gun before being shot by FBI agents. One of the officials says the person claimed to have explosives, but law enforcement officials have not said whether he actually did.
According to the two officials, the man is mentally disturbed and has who has tried repeatedly in the past to get into the CIA campus.
The man, whose identity has not been released, was transported to an area hospital, the FBI said. The extent of his injuries was not known.
"The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously. The review process is thorough and objective, and is conducted as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances,” the bureau said in a statement.
A CIA spokeswoman said earlier that they were "addressing a security situation just outside the secure perimeter of CIA Headquarters by our main gate. Our compound remains secured, and our Security Protective Officers working the incident are the only Agency personnel directly involved.”

Was it a white supremacist, Trump supporter, wearing a MAGA hat?
Another news item brought to you by NBC’s CIA shill Ken Dilanian.
It’s an American flag, the most racist country on earth./sarc
Was thinking oh boy, crash the CIA headquarters, how stupid can you be. Then I read the person had mental illness. I cannot get on the article because of my ad blocker and I don’t want to remove the block but there is this ‘THING’ about mental ill people and imagining they are being spied on by the CIA. Good grief.
So back in the Roman days did they think they were spied upon by the Praetorian Guard? Every century different guys, ‘Henry VIII’s guys are watching me’...
Didn’t you see the movie RED, with Bruce Willis?
They have CIA swat teams on site for security.
“According to the two officials, the man is mentally disturbed and has who has tried repeatedly in the past to get into the CIA campus.”
At least that’s their cover story for the hit. I believe NOTHING anymore from that once vaunted and revered agency.
#26 description matches John Brennen
Tell that to the 300 people sitting in federal lockup because they wandered through the WH on Jan 6th, 5 months ago
Another “mentally disturbed?”
Move along, nothing to see here.....( sarc.)
I would be mentally disturbed too if the CIA shot one of my family over in say, Cyprus.
There is always more to these than meets the eye.
REPORT WHAT HE SAID OR ANY LETTERS HE LEFT!
Did the spokeswoman declare her pronouns before they wrote this story? If not the reporter should be cancelled!
Looks like another false flag to come down on white supremacists and their guns
Maybe he said that he had explosive diarrhea, thinking that would increase his chances of getting a job with the New Woke CIA.
👍😀

......................................................
Whoever made this inane statement is a freaking idiot.
Just as bear-baiting, why should we believe this story?
I don’t believe the Ashli Babbitt explanation from the government. I don’t believe any of the Russian hoax info about Trump.
What makes this or any story believable in our lying, cheating, photo-shopping, false document producing era?
Reminds me of this incident there on Jan 25, 1993

So you may have met some of our current members of Congress and DNC officials?
