Among the buildings reportedly on lockdown was also the Treasury Building. “The U.S. Treasury Building in Washington, D.C. is currently on LOCKDOWN, alongside several other nearby government buildings, following a shooting minutes ago near the White House,” a post read.

Notably, President Donald Trump was not in DC when the shooting near the White House took place. However, he did react to the shooting in a post on Truth Social, and also shared more information about the suspect.

President Trump informed on Truth Social that the suspect had been ‘severely wounded’.

“The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price.” Trump wrote.
