(CNN) — Two people were shot in an encounter with Secret Service near the White House on Saturday, according to a law enforcement official.

The incident occurred near the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street Northwest. The law enforcement official said officers from the Secret Service’s uniformed division responded to a report of a person firing a weapon when the incident took place.

CNN reporters heard what appeared to be dozens of gunshots near the White House, triggering a lockdown and a rapid response from the Secret Service.

The Secret Service said the agency was investigating reports of shots fired at the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, which is just outside the White House complex.

The circumstances surrounding the incident were unclear.

Members of the press corps on the North Lawn were rushed into the White House briefing room. Inside the White House, reporters were told to shelter in place as Secret Service agents shouted “get down” and warned of “shots fired.”

Secret Service agents carrying rifles could be seen moving through the North Lawn area following the incident and blocking the White House press briefing room. The lockdown was lifted just after 6:45 p.m. ET.

President Donald Trump is at the White House residence. CNN has reached out to the White House, DC Metropolitan Police, and the DC Fire and EMS Department for comment.

FBI Director Kash Patel said on X that the agency “is on the scene and supporting Secret Service responding to shots fired near White House grounds – we will update the public as we’re able.”

Selina Wang, ABC News’ chief White House correspondent, posted a video on X showing the moment the apparent shots rang out and she ducked for cover.

“I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now,” she posted.

The incident comes less than a month after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where reporters and Trump administration officials ducked for cover as shots rang out.

The suspect in that shooting, Cole Tomas Allen, sprinted through a security checkpoint with a shotgun in hand, exchanging fire with Secret Service agents who chased behind him, according to security footage. He has pleaded not guilty to attempting to assassinate Trump and to other charges.

A very typical Spring pattern is in place which means the May marine layer is firmly locked in place. Temperatures will continue to stay on the cool to mild side for Sunday with coastal highs hovering mostly in the 60's. Some clearing is possible, but it would be a good idea to plane for a cool beach experience and hopefully some sunshine will poke through by the middle of the day. Inland areas will stay very nice with highs expected to warm in to the 70's and possibly lower 80's.

Looking ahead, clouds and cool temperatures will hold through much of the upcoming week. It could be a bit windy at times as afternoon northwesterly flow increases. Highs near the coast will stay in the 60's with possibly lower 60's for the coolest beach communities. Inland areas will see better afternoon clearing and breezy northerly winds at times. Highs in the warmest valleys should remain in the upper 70's to lower 80's. Better clearing with building high pressure is expected by late in the work week. This will also lead to a gradual warm up as we head through next weekend. Some of our forecast model runs are hinting at a pretty good jump in temperatures by next Sunday, but it's a bit early to forecast that quite yet and we will keep an eye on it just in case.

Reporteros de CNN escucharon lo que parecían ser decenas de disparos cerca de la Casa Blanca el sábado, lo que provocó un confinamiento y una rápida respuesta del Servicio Secreto de Estados Unidos.

Un funcionario del Servicio Secreto dijo a CNN que la agencia estaba investigando informes de disparos realizados en la esquina de la calle 17 y la Avenida Pennsylvania Northwest, que está justo fuera del complejo de la Casa Blanca.

Miembros del cuerpo de prensa en el Jardín Norte fueron apresurados hacia la sala de prensa de la Casa Blanca. Dentro de la Casa Blanca, se les dijo a los reporteros que se resguardaran en el lugar mientras agentes del Servicio Secreto gritaban “¡Al suelo!” y advertían de “disparos”. Un reportero dijo que los sonidos parecían provenir del lado del Edificio Ejecutivo Eisenhower del complejo de la Casa Blanca.

Se pudo ver a agentes del Servicio Secreto que portaban rifles desplazándose por el área del Jardín Norte tras el incidente y bloqueando la sala de prensa de la Casa Blanca.

CNN se ha puesto en contacto con la Casa Blanca para solicitar comentarios.
