BREAKING: Shots Fired Near White House, President Trump Pulled From Live Briefing

Story developing… White House now on lockdown after an individual outside the White House was reportedly shot by Secret Service… President Trump was reportedly in the midst of a live briefing when the shooting occurred, and Secret Service agents interrupted the briefing, pulling him away from reporters and to a secure location.

President Trump reportedly had to stop the press briefing and leave. “There was an actual shooting,” Trump said when he returned to the podium not long after, explaining to the press in attendance that someone, presumably a suspect, was taken to the hospital.
