在白宫建筑群外围巡逻的特工发现了一名可疑人员,特勤局副局长马修·奎因称,该人员“看起来持有枪械”。

奎因在新闻发布会上表示,该人员在被特勤局警员靠近后短暂徒步逃离,并朝警员方向开枪。

奎补充道,特勤局随即向嫌疑人开火,嫌疑人被击中后被送往医院。

奎因称,副总统JD·万斯的车队“事发前不久”途经该区域。目前尚无迹象表明嫌疑人企图针对万斯的车队。

奎因补充说,一名未成年旁观者被嫌疑人击中,但暂无生命危险,目前正在医院接受治疗。

奎因告诉记者,特工在发现该人员时,通过其行为判断其可疑,并观察到了“枪械的可视轮廓”。

奎因表示,嫌疑人并未进入白宫园区。

近几日,美国首都华盛顿特区的执法部门保持高度戒备,原因是上月末白宫记者协会晚宴发生枪击事件,一名男子已因此被捕。

记者询问奎因,周一的事件是否与“近期针对总统唐纳德·特朗普的其他袭击企图”有关。事件发生时,特朗普正在白宫。

“目前尚不清楚该事件是否针对总统,我们将查明真相,”奎因说道。

特勤局副局长证实,已从嫌疑人处缴获一把武器,但未透露更多细节。

特勤局早些时候表示,其人员已抵达华盛顿特区第15街和独立大道的警员枪击事件现场。

华盛顿特区警察局正在负责此次调查。

  • Secret Service says incident happened not long before Vance’s motorcade transited through the area
  • Incident led to brief lockdown at White House
  • No indication that Vance’s motorcade was a target, Secret ​Service says

WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) – The ‌U.S. Secret Service said on Monday its officers confronted an armed and “suspicious individual” near the White House who later fired at them before fleeing on foot and being shot by law enforcement.

The incident led to a ​brief lockdown at the White House.

Agents patrolling the outer perimeter of the White House ​complex identified a person who Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew Quinn said ⁠was a “suspicious individual that appeared to have a firearm.”

He briefly fled on foot after being ​approached by Secret Service officers and fired in their direction, Quinn said at a press ​conference.

Secret Service then fired at the suspect who was hit and subsequently hospitalized, Quinn added.

Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade transited through the area “not long before” the incident, Quinn said. There was no indication that the ​suspect intended to approach Vance’s motorcade, the Secret Service deputy director said.

A juvenile bystander was ​hit by the suspect but did not receive any life-threatening injuries and was being treated at a hospital, ‌Quinn ⁠added.

Agents observed “visual print of a firearm” in considering the individual’s behavior as suspicious when he was spotted, Quinn told reporters.

The suspect was not on the White House property, Quinn said.

Law enforcement have been on alert in recent days in the U.S. capital following a shooting at the ​White House Correspondents’ Association ​Dinner late last month ⁠over which a man has been arrested.

Quinn was asked if Monday’s incident was linked to “other recent attempts” on President Donald Trump’s life. Trump was ​in the White House when this incident unfolded.

“Whether or not it ​was directed ⁠to the president or not, I don’t know but we will find out,” Quinn said.

The Secret Service deputy director confirmed that a weapon was recovered from the suspect but did not elaborate.

The ⁠Secret Service said ​earlier its personnel were on the scene of the ​officer-involved shooting at 15th Street and Independence Avenue in Washington, D.C.

The DC Police Department was handling the probe.
