There was a shooting at the White House today

[VIDEO] The President was said to be rushed from the White House briefing room earlier this evening by a US Secret Service Agent. He returned to the briefing room 8 minutes later to report that there was a situation and very well under control.

An armed suspect was shot by police outside of the White House and is in the hospital. I've been looking for updates and after quick Google search haven't been able to find much.

I first heard about it on ABC News and I sort of made light of the whole President Trump was rushed from the briefing room. However, it seems in situations such as this is a prudent move. Don't know what else is going on in an incident such as this.

With all the weirdness looting going on in Chicago overnight on Monday and then what happened in Washington, DC has made for a rather interesting day newswise.
