The incident took place close to the intersection of 17th and F Streets NW.

The agency stated on Sunday, through spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, that as officers approached, the individual displayed a firearm, resulting in an armed confrontation where shots were exchanged by Secret Service personnel. The suspect was taken to a hospital, and their current condition is unknown. The agency confirmed no injuries among Secret Service personnel and mentioned an ongoing investigation into the incident.
