Officials had been alerted of a potentially suicidal individual journeying from Indiana to Washington. This tip-off came from local authorities on Saturday, leading to the discovery of the person's vehicle just a block from the White House.

As officers approached the man, he brandished a firearm, prompting the Secret Service to open fire shortly after midnight. The individual's condition at the hospital remains unknown.
