A gunman approached the checkpoint at the intersection of 17th Street Northwest and Pennsylvania Avenue, adjacent to the White House complex, and opened fire on the officers on duty. The Secret Service immediately responded to the scene and neutralized the suspect. CNN, citing law enforcement officials, stated that the incident left two people injured: one identified as an innocent bystander, and the other as the gunman himself. Both injured individuals were transported to George Washington University Hospital, where the Secret Service later confirmed the gunman had died. At the time of the incident, US President Trump was in the White House residence attending to official business and was not in direct danger. CNN reporters stated that when the shooting occurred, media personnel reporting from the North Lawn were urgently ushered into the White House briefing room for shelter. The site remained on lockdown until the order was lifted after 6:45 PM ET. ABC News senior White House correspondent Selina Wang also posted earlier: 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. pic.twitter.com/iqdQwh4soq — Selina Wang (@selinawangtv) May 23, 2026 It is worth noting that this is not the first security alert Trump has faced recently. Less than a month ago, on April 25, while Trump was attending the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, gunshots were suddenly heard outside the ballroom, and Trump and his entourage were urgently evacuated from the Washington Hilton. With the two incidents occurring in succession, there is renewed high-level concern regarding security deployments and threat assessments around the White House.
