The suspect then fled on foot, drew a weapon and fired at officers.   The suspect’s gunfire struck one juvenile bystander, who did not sustain life-threatening injuries.   Mr. Quinn said the suspect was taken to a hospital but declined to comment on the individual’s condition.   The incident occurred shortly after Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade passed through the area, though there is no indication it was the target.   The White House briefly went into lockdown due to the incident, and journalists on the North Lawn were ushered back into the briefing room.   #mattquinn #washingtondc #whitehouse #cspan Tue, 05 May 2026 15:43:05 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/28f7499f-96f8-4bd7-a2b4-847563eaa22e All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
