Security breach near the White House

A fresh security breach was reported near the White House in the United States after an armed individual opened fire on security forces. Secret Service agents immediately responded and engaged in retaliatory firing to neutralise the threat. Following the incident, the White House was briefly placed under lockdown as a precautionary measure.

Officials stated that the incident occurred shortly after Vice President JD Vance’s convoy passed through the same area. At the time of the shooting, President Donald Trump was inside the White House. Authorities have launched an investigation into the security lapse and the motive behind the attack.
