Police and security forces respond to reports of shots fired near the White House in Washington, with President Donald Trump inside the building at the time. Multiple outlets report a large emergency presence around the White House late on Saturday evening, including a cordon restricting access to the area. National Guard troops reportedly block at least one journalist from entering the restricted zone. Coverage also says the FBI is coordinating with US Secret Service and other law enforcement on the scene. One report quotes FBI Director Kash Patel saying the FBI is present and supporting the Secret Service as it responds to the incident.
The accounts do not provide confirmed details about who fired shots or whether anyone was injured. They instead focus on the immediate security response, the disruption of access around the White House, and the fact that Trump was working there in connection with negotiations related to a deal with Iran during the incident.
