Fox News has learned the White House is on lockdown after a gunman armed with a pistol opened fire Saturday afternoon near the White House in Washington, D.C., engaging with the U.S. Secret Service.
Fox News Chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reported that at about 6 p.m. local time, a gunman fired about three shots toward the executive mansion and Secret Service agents returned fire.
The shooting unfolded near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, according to the Secret Service.
A nearby civilian on the street was shot in the exchange, and their condition is unknown, according to Pergram.
As many as 30 shots were reportedly heard in the direction of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
The suspect never got inside the general perimeter of the White House grounds, Pergram said.

It's amazing how easily manipulate these lame brains are.
Another lunatic looking for a ‘death by cop suicide’ and the secret service is doing a terrible job at obliging them... Instead of handcuffing these crazy motherf*ckers... Just put one in the back of their heads... That’s what they truly want.
They know they’ll never get close enough to kill Trump, so this is just another ‘cry for help’. It’s akin to jumping off a very short bridge and surviving, or taking some meds and being ‘discovered’ just in the nick of time.
When they have these weekly TDS group meetings they should really train these people how to kill themselves properly, without the need to create a scene and look stupid. Just put the shotgun in your mouth and pull that trigger.
At least half a dozen passive verbs used in that “news” story.
But, but... guns are illegal in DC!!
I am so confused!!
Anybody know if Hakeem Wakanda has an alibi? How ‘bout Omar the Queen of the desert caravans?
Maybe its me, but after rereading I did not see anything about the gunman... dead? got away? captured?
Arrested................
I heard from another article that the shooter is in the hospital in critical condition
Once again, the indications are that the SS desperately needs personnel who can shoot straight under fire...
Yes.
Maybe IRGC sleeper cells coming out of their hole. The hole that was created when the filthy scumbag traitor Biden invited them in. /spit
They seem to be taken by suprise every time. When one isn’t paying attention a sudden attack leaves them flustered and floundering.
One bystander is critical wrong place wrong time these sickos what do they think that they will just open the door to the White House and say heβs down the hall to your left seriously
They are really good at shooting innocent bystanders.
ANOTHER TDS afflicted democrat?
