Gunshots were heard near the White House with the building placed ‘in lockdown’ as between 20 to 30 shots rang out and journalists were escorted inside by Secret Service agents.

News cameras captured the terrifying moment gunfire erupted near the White House.

The building was reportedly placed ‘in lockdown’ as between 20 to 30 gunshots were heard by journalists outside, who were quickly ushered into the press room by Secret Service agents.

Fox News reported that the gunman had been neutralised by the Secret Service. CNN is now reporting two people have been shot in an encounter with the Secret Service at the White House.

Julie Trskin, a reporter for NBC News, wrote on X: “GUNSHOTS heard outside of the White House Approximately 20-30 Secret service told those of us gathered on the north lawn to run inside the press briefing room.”

The journalist then shared a photograph of an armed officer positioned outside the door, adding: “Outside the press briefing doors right now…USSS officers, gun drawn, told us to run inside. White House now on lockdown.”

Images circulating on social media appeared to show marksmen positioned on the roof of the building, alongside another armed officer marching across the White House lawn.

The video footage, shared on X, shows reporters scrambling for cover the instant the gunshots were heard – before armed officers rushed into frame to respond to the developing incident.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or information about the circumstances. On X, the Secret Service announced it was “aware of reports of shots fired near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW” – a stone’s throw from the White House – and was “working to corroborate the information with personnel on the ground.” They promised an update would follow shortly.

In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel stated officers were responding to the gunfire and pledged he would “update the public as we’re able.”

President Donald Trump was within the White House at the time.
