The Secret Service, which protects the president, briefly locked down the White House as a precaution. The shooting took place near 17th and E streets, near what is k**wn as the South Lawn outside the executive mansion, which serves as the home and ******s of the president. A man who looked to be in his mid-20s walked to the gate of the White House holding a silver-colored gun pointed at the ground, said Brett Polivka, a 26-year-old visiting from Texas who was standing near the south side of the White House with his girlfriend. "A couple ******rs drew their guns, went right at him and within two or three seconds we heard a gunshot," Polivka said, adding that he believed it was an ******r´s shot. They were then cleared from the scene, Polivka said. The Secret Service confirmed a police involved shooting near the White House complex, reporting on Twitter that all the people under its protection were safe. The Secret Service also protects the president´s family and other top dignitaries. One person in critical condition was transported to hospital, said Oscar Mendez, a spokesman for the D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department. Lafayette Square, a park and near the White House, was closed to tourists. U.S. Park Police and a Secret Service ******r with a police dog kept tourists on the sidewalk **rth of the park. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Man shot near White House after brandishing gun || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
