Reporters on the grounds were quickly ordered into secure areas, with video from journalists capturing crews taking cover as officers rushed toward the scene. Later, members of the press were reportedly allowed to leave the building, suggesting authorities no longer considered the situation an active threat. ([AP News][1])
Officials have not yet fully explained what caused the shots or released complete details about the incident. Early reports indicate the response happened near the White House perimeter, and there were no immediate confirmed reports of injuries. ([AP News][1])
