The Secret Service received information from local police regarding a suspected "suicidal individual" traveling from Indiana. The Secret Service subsequently located the man's vehicle and an individual matching the description.
“As officers approached, the man brandished a weapon, and an armed confrontation ensued, during which our personnel fired their weapons,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
The man has been transported to a hospital. The Secret Service stated that his condition is "unknown." Because the shooting involved law enforcement personnel, the Metropolitan Police Department will investigate the incident. Messages left with the police department on Sunday have not been immediately returned.
