May 23 (UPI) -- The White House was locked down on Saturday evening after multiple gunshots were heard nearby, as journalists on the North Lawn were rushed inside.
Members of several media organizations, some who were reporting live, reported hearing what they thought were gunshots before the Secret Service told them to seek shelter inside the press briefing room.
FBI Director Kash Patel said in a post on X that authorities are investigating the situation.
There are no reports of injuries.
