SHOTS FIRED at White House...Trump in Lockdown

Moments ago dozens of shots were being fired in and around the White House. We saw reporters like Selena Wang and others who were doing reports right at the White House on had to shut down the reports as people were scrambling. Let me tell you the latest about what we've learned. And then I'm going to show you some of the video footage,

but shots fired at the White House. We just learned that the suspect has indeed died after

“the Secret Service apparently returned fire on the suspect.”

Here's what CNN said moments ago.

>> We just have a statement from the Secret Service who has updated that the suspect has died according to the Secret Service. I'm just going to read this statement. They say shortly after 6 p.m. Saturday, an individual approached the Secret Service checkpoint in the area of 17th Street

in Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest. A preliminary investigation indicates the individual approached. He removed a weapon from his bag and began firing at posted officers. Secret Service officers returned fire striking the suspect who was transported to an area hospital where he later died.

They also confirmed that a bystander was struck by gunfire. They say it remains unclear whether that bystander was struck by the suspect's initial gunfire or during the subsequent exchange.

“No injuries were sustained by Secret Service.”

The president was at the White House and was not impacted. Again, this is coming from the White House press office and from the U.S. Secret Service spokesperson. But again, the news here adding to what we had already known is that this suspect has died.

>> The other person very seriously injured. Secret Service agents say they were fired at and returned fire between 15 and 30 shots were fired. Several officers were evaluated at the scene. None were hospitalized.

That's what CBS is reporting.

Here's what state regime media fox is reporting.

A gunman approached the White House near gate 17 around 6 p.m. fired three shots toward the building.

“Secret Service agents returned fire taking him down.”

A civilian was also hit during the exchange. Officials say the suspect never breach the White House perimeter. They're saying that Donald Trump is safe as of now. Let me show you this video right here. The moment the gunfire started.

We started hearing this gunfire reporter. Selena Wang of ABC. She was filming the social media video or social media video from the White House. Lawn when dozens of gunshots rang out.

Let me show you what went down. >> The President Trump has said a deal is close. Only for the two sides to remain far apart. [BLANK_AUDIO] >> Yeah, she says that we were told to sprint to the press briefing room.

Where we are holding now, weighing posted this video after the chaotic scene. Moments ago, we also saw this footage when the gunshots were ringing out near the White House. News reporters were live on site. Here play this clip. >> Memorial Day since 2022.

President Trump promises the prices will go down. But his grip on Republicans supporting on Capitol Hill is weakening. [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO]

[BLANK_AUDIO] [BLANK_AUDIO] >> In addition, NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Julie Ser Skin was preparing to report from the White House when multiple shots were heard.

Here's what went down when she was reporting.

Let's play this clip. [BLANK_AUDIO] >> What is that? [BLANK_AUDIO] >> You can also see in this next video.

Turn this down up a little bit here. Secret Service ordering members of the press to abandon their reporting pods on the north lawn of the White House and go toward the briefing room. After dozens of shots were heard nearby. [BLANK_AUDIO]

[BLANK_AUDIO] >> Now Jennifer Jacobs of CBS rights to hit by gunfire outside the White House, the suspect in the possible bystander taken to the hospital the secret service post of the following. We are aware of reports of shots fired near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest and are working to corroborate information with personnel on the ground additional information.

We'll be provide a take a look at this map right here. Scary Collins right sources say that the U.S. Secret Service. Human outside of the White House on the 17th and Pennsylvania side right here. I mean take a look at where that actually took place. Here's how state regime media known as Fox is reporting.

Here's what they had to say.

“>> But we have you by phone, can you bring this down for us?”

>> But tell me this is what always happens when we have something like this. I always start to check in on the security situation at the White House. But this is what happened around six o'clock this evening. I'm told that a gunman came up near the White House on the west side. What is described in me as gate 17. This is kind of near 14th Street on the west side of the White House.

And came up and branded some sort of a pistol. We don't know what type of pistol it was. But he then fired toward the White House three times. And the United States Secret Service, they returned fire. We don't know how many shots that they got off.

And they apparently took the gunman down. And now sometime in this gunfire exchange, a civilian on the street was struck by this gunfire. And we do not know the condition of that person right now. But the important thing to know is that the gunman who came up with the pistol and was taken down by the Secret Service. And we don't know his condition right now.

But he never got inside the perimeter of the White House.

And this is according to a senior administration official with direct knowledge of what went down at the White House. This afternoon, this was a wide-around six o'clock eastern time. Here's how they were reporting it on CNN. We don't have breaking news. CNN reporters heard what appeared to be dozens of gunshots near the White House a short time ago.

Julia Benbrook is now inside in the press briefing room. Julia, bring us up to speed what you heard and what you know. Yeah, I'm here with other White House reporters. The photographers here now in the briefing room.

“This is where Secret Service rushed us to.”

After we heard what appeared to be dozens of gunshots. And I want to paint the picture for you a little bit. We're here in the briefing room and then you can kind of see out the window. Secret Service is currently working the north lawn there to make sure everything is okay. But that's where we do live shots is those green tents out there.

And I was just speaking to you from out there just before this happened. And then reporters were rushed into the briefing room after. Again, what appeared to be dozens of gunshots. Now we have reached out to Secret Service and the White House for more information. This is also unfolding.

It is really unclear right now. If anyone was injured, these gunshots though to be clear. Appeared outside of the grounds closer to the E.O.B building, which is on the west side of the White House.

“So while we could hear them, we're not exactly sure where these took place.”

Again, if anyone was injured, we are waiting on more information. But just the visual of all these reporters running in here. This happening just about a month after the White House correspondence dinner, where a lot of this same group was on the ground in a situation where there was a shooter there as well. A scary moment.

And we are looking for more information trying to understand exactly what happened here. What we do know is that we heard what appeared to be dozens of gunshots. Very close to the White House grounds. Apparently they got the all clear sign right here. After the White House was indeed on lockdown,

the lockdown order had been lifted. Our reporters were clear to leave the press briefing room. After shots were fired near the White House. Let me share this with you right here. We're taking a live look at this picture of the reporting teams.

Now apparently cleared to leave that White House press briefing room. That's obviously a good sign right, Jeffrey. That would be a good sign. That means that the initial threat that they believed is either incapacitated or no longer present or has been detained. More footage over here of police responding to the scene close to the White House.

Now the incident over here took place at the exact same time that we learned about a potential peace deal. That seemed to be going through between the Trump regime and Iran, which appeared to have been a total capitulation by Trump.

Basically surrendering everything to Iran.

I'll do a whole other video on that.

Let Iran control the straight of Hormuz. Remove military presence in the area. It's not permanent ceasefire, basically, and then agree maybe in 30 to 60 days to possibly talk about Iran's nuclear capabilities. But really push that back into some time in the future. Maybe discuss it, but really give massive amounts of money to Iran and sanctions relief.

You had lots of people coming out being very critical.

A lot of Donald Trump's inner circle, being very, very critical, lots of the war hawks, very critical. And people were saying that this was just an under disaster. You had that happening also. That's not forget that today Donald Trump said that he was going to be, well, there was his son's wedding today, Don Jr.

And he said he would not be going to his son's wedding. And he would be staying in Washington, D.C.

“And not going to bed, Mr. that's why Donald Trump was in Washington.”

D.C. today because he said that he was dealing with things relating to the government.

Here was his post, Friday. Well, I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr. And the newest member of the Trump family is soon to be wife, Bettina. Sarkham Stance is pertaining to government and my love for the United States. Do not allow me to do so.

I feel it's important for me to remain in Washington, D.C. At the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina.

“So he was there at this important period of time where then this incident took place.”

You also have the Iran's military spokesperson posting the end. And it's a photo of AI image of Donald Trump kissing the Iatola's feet and bowing down to the Iatola. So that's the latest of what's happening right now. We're going to keep you, of course, posted as we learn more. But that's the most up-to-date information.

Again, he's gunshots outside the White House. Dozens of gunshots 15 to 30 gunshots. White House on lockdown. They say two people were shot. One likely a suspect, the other, maybe an innocent bystander who was shot as well.

Apparently the story is that the person shot at Secret Service, the Secret Service shot back.

“That's why we heard the dozens of shots.”

And now we know, and by the way, that all happened when this horrible deal, or apparently this utter surrender by Donald Trump, was announced. There's a lot going on right now. I'll do an entirely other video on the Trump surrender. I predicted it was going to happen this morning, and it seems to have happened.
