Around 6 p.m., White House reporters on the North Lawn were hurried into the press briefing room after hearing what sounded like nearly 30 gunshots.

“I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now,” ABC reporter Selina Wang posted on X. 

A dramatic video showed U.S. Secret Service agents shouting at reporters to evacuate their camera positions.

Mike Davis, citing law enforcement, said the Secret Service shot two men outside the White House on 17th and Pennsylvania NW. 

The shooting came roughly an hour after President Trump announced that a deal aimed at ending the conflict with Iran was close to being finalized.

The Daily Wire reached out to the U.S. Secret Service and the local police department for more information.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
