WASHINGTON (AP) — An armed man believed to be traveling from Indiana was shot by U.S. Secret Service agents near the White House after a confrontation early Sunday, according to authorities.
Media reports identified the man as 27-year-old Andrew Dawson, North Manchester.
According to the Associated Press, the Secret Service says no one else was injured in the shooting that happened around midnight about a block from the White House.
President Donald Trump was in Florida at the time of the shooting.
The Secret Service received information from local police about an alleged “suicidal individual” who was traveling from Indiana and found the man’s car and a person matching his description nearby.
“As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
The man was hospitalized. The Secret Service said his condition was “unknown.”
The Metropolitan Police Department will investigate because the shooting involved law enforcement officers. The police department declined to provide more details.
