Two National Guard soldiers were shot on Wednesday (November 26) near the White House in what officials described as a targeted attack, and the suspect was in custody after suffering gunshot wounds during the incident.
President Donald Trump was in Florida at the time of the attack, which prompted the White House to go into lockdown as law enforcement from multiple federal and city agencies swarmed the area.
The suspect came around a corner and began firing at the Guard soldiers, who were on a high-visibility patrol near the corner of 17th and I streets, Metropolitan Police Assistant Chief Jeff Carroll said. Both victims were in critical condition, FBI Director Kash Patel said at a press briefing.
"This is a targeted attack," Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said.
The motive for the shooting was not immediately clear, and officials said the investigation was still in its early stages.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump has asked for 500 additional troops to be deployed to Washington, D.C., after two National Guard members were shot in the city.
"This happened just steps from the White House and it will not stand and that's why President Trump has asked me and I will ask the secretary of the Army to the National Guard to add 500 additional troops, National Guardsmen, to Washington, D.C.," Hegseth said.
