Two National Guard members were shot this afternoon in what appeared to be a "targeted" attack near the White House and are in critical condition, authorities say.
www.nbcnews.comI don’t have access to live news feeds right now. Here’s a quick summary of what’s been reported recently about shootings near the White House, based on the latest publicly available coverage I can reference:
- There have been multiple incidents in the past year where shots were fired near the White House or Lafayette Square, with varying outcomes for those involved. Some reports indicated critically injured officers or guards, and in several cases suspects were apprehended or shot during encounters with law enforcement. These events typically trigger security alerts, brief evacuations or lockdowns, and subsequent investigations by federal and local agencies.[3][4][9][10]
- In some of the more recent episodes, officials have described the incidents as targeted or isolated, with ongoing investigations to determine motive and connections, and with security personnel reinforcing protective measures around the White House complex.[4][3]
- When such events occur, you can expect updates from major U.S. news outlets and official agency briefings (Secret Service, FBI, DC authorities), sometimes including live blogs or press conferences that provide suspect descriptions, injured parties, and security responses as they become available.[9][3][4]
If you’d like, I can:
- Narrow to a specific date range (e.g., the past 30 days) and summarize how many incidents were reported and their reported outcomes.
- Pull the latest confirmed details from reputable outlets and provide a concise, cited briefing.
- Create a brief timeline or a simple chart showing incident dates and outcomes.
