Trump abruptly escorted out of White House briefing, tells reporters upon return there was a 'shooting'
President Trump was abruptly escorted from the White House briefing room in a security measure slightly after taking the podium for a news briefing Monday afternoon, but quickly returned to tell reporters, "There was a shooting outside of the White House."
The Secret Service provided the following detail of the shooting in a tweet late Monday, saying a 51-year-old male allegedly approached a Uniformed Division officer who was standing at his post on the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House. The man told the agent he had a weapon and, while he approached, took off in a sprint and “in a drawing motion, withdrew an object from his clothing,” the statement read.
“The suspect then crouched into a shooter’s stance as if about to fire a weapon,” the statement read. At that point, the agent fired his weapon and struck the subject in the torso. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OF OUR TOP STORY.
