Secret Service Shoots Armed Man Near White House

President Trump was in Florida at the time.

On Sunday, the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) shot an armed man outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, roughly a block from the White House. The service received an alert when Metropolitan police issued a BOLO about the possibly suicidal individual. The man reportedly drove from Indiana to Washington, D.C., and also had a rifle in his car.

Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi stated, “As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm, and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel.”

The man was taken to a local hospital. The DC Metropolitan Police’s Internal Affairs Division Force Investigations Team is heading the investigation.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

  • For Director Sean Curran to be discerning as he heads the U.S. Secret Service.
  • For wisdom for Secret Service agents as they provide security and protection to the president and other officials.
