Suspect shot, killed after opening fire on Secret Service checkpoint, officials say

A suspect was shot and killed after opening fire on a U.S. Secret Service checkpoint outside the White House, a Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.

According to a preliminary investigation, the suspect approached the checkpoint, pulled a weapon out of his bag and began firing on officers, the spokesperson said.

The Secret Service officers returned fire and struck the suspect. He was taken to a hospital, where he died, the spokesperson said.  

A bystander was also struck by gunfire, the official disclosed, but it was unclear whether the bystander was hit by gunfire from the suspect or the officers. The bystander’s condition was not immediately provided.

No Secret Service personnel were wounded, the spokesperson said.

President Trump was at the White House during the incident, “but was not impacted,” the spokesperson added.
