Man shot by Secret Service outside White House
A man was shot by a Secret Service officer near the White House on Monday, leading authorities to interrupt a briefing by Trump and escort him from the press room.
The 51-year-old man had approached an officer posted near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW around 5:50 p.m. and said he had a weapon, said Thomas Sullivan, chief of the Uniformed Division of the Secret Service.
He said the man ran aggressively toward the officer and withdrew an object from his clothing.
