The Secret Service shot a man during an armed confrontation near the White House Sunday, the agency announced.
The incident took place just after midnight, about a block away from the White House, on the west side of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
In a statement, the Secret Service said that earlier on Saturday police shared information about a suicidal individual who may have been traveling to Washington, D.C., from Indiana.

The Metropolitan Police Department will lead an investigation into the shooting since they are the primary agency responsible for use-of-force incidents within the District of Columbia, the Secret Service said.
