CNN news reported a man “brandishing a weapon” approached a security checkpoint” at the White House and the suspect was “shot in the abdomen” by security officers. The man was taken into custody and brought to a nearby hospital.
It was not clear if the man is acting alone or he is part of a plot to attack the White House.
