The White House is currently on lockdown following reports of gunshots near the executive mansion on Saturday. As many as 30 shots were reportedly heard, leading to immediate security measures.
Correspondents at the scene reported multiple gunshots near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Secret Service agents instructed the press to “get down” before guiding them into the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room in the West Wing for safety.
Armed Secret Service personnel were visible on the grounds, weapons at the ready, enhancing security measures following the incident. The situation unfolded while President Donald Trump was in the White House’s Oval Office, having announced earlier in the day that the administration was nearing a deal to conclude the conflict with Iran.
This is a developing situation, and further updates are awaited.
