The White House was briefly locked down on Saturday evening after gunfire erupted nearby, injuring at least two people, according to four law enforcement officials briefed on the matter.
One person is in grave condition, the officials said.
One of the individuals is believed to be a suspect, but it isn’t clear if the second person is also a suspect or a bystander, the officials said.
The investigation shows that the U.S. Secret Service engaged with the suspect and fired at the person, according to two senior officials briefed on the matter.
