A shooting occurs near the White House security area on Saturday night, with gunfire reported close to the northwestern part of the White House complex and near a Secret Service checkpoint. Multiple outlets report that the U.S. Secret Service returns fire after a man fires shots with a handgun. The gunman is killed in the exchange, according to the Secret Service and other officials cited by several outlets.

The New York Times reports the President is inside the building at the time of the shooting. PBS NewsHour and CBS News describe the incident as happening near a checkpoint, while other reports place the location near the White House perimeter and specific nearby streets.

The Guardian reports the suspect, described as 21, had prior contact with Secret Service, including an earlier attempt to enter the complex last year, based on court records. Bloomberg and other outlets reference information from officials or people familiar with the matter.

MSNBC reports that a bystander is shot in the crossfire and transported to a hospital, though it says it is unclear who fired on the bystander. Other outlets report that the Secret Service shot and killed the suspect but do not provide additional detail on bystander injuries.
