Gunman Shot by Secret Service Near White House 2:15
A man was shot by a Secret Service agent outside the White House grounds after approaching a checkpoint with a gun and refusing commands to drop it, officials said.
The man approached a checkpoint on E Street with a gun at around 3:06 p.m. and was shot in the chest, the Secret Service said. Law enforcement officials identified the man who was shot as Jesse Olivieri from Ashland, Pennsylvania.
The shooting prompted a lockdown at the White House and sent heavily-armed Secret Service personnel fanning out across the complex and a sniper scanning the area from the top of the building.
"He was carrying a gun — a silver gun in clear sight — walked through the fence line," said Larry Samples, who was on E and witnessed the shooting near 17th and E streets, southwest of the White House.
