An assassination attempt on the American President Donald Trump has been foiled by the Secret Service. The President informed that someone was shot outside the White House by Secret Service and taken to a hospital.
The US President was evacuated from the White House press briefing room by US Secret Service as an agent locked the briefing room doors from the outside.
Minutes after leaving coronavirus briefing with the Secret Service, President Trump returned and informed that someone was shot outside the White House by Secret Service and taken to a hospital.
Fox News’ John Roberts reported that “Shots were fired at 17th and Penn, this was not initiated by the Secret Service, these shots came from somewhere else and apparently now the Secret Service is rendering aid to someone who was hit.”
The Secret Service said in a tweet that a male subject and a USSS officer were both transported to a local hospital. “At no time during this incident was the White House complex breached or were any protectees in danger,” the agency said, adding the investigation is ongoing.
After the president’s remarks, the White House was still on lockdown, with press told to stay in the briefing room. By 7:30 p.m., the lockdown had been lifted.
