Barely four weeks after United States President Donald Trump was evacuated from the annual White House correspondents’ dinner after a gunman opened fire near a security checkpoint at the event in Washington DC, gunfire was heard last night evening near the White House, triggering a lockdown and a rapid response from the US Secret Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), according to a statement posted to social media.
This is just as President Trump has stated that his country and Iran were “getting a lot closer” to an agreement to end the war in the Middle East.
Police and security forces swarmed the area around the White House yesterday evening after reports of shots fired, AFP journalists said.
