Investigation Underway
Authorities are currently investigating the incident. It remains unclear where the reported shots originated from or if there is any ongoing threat to the area. Wang recounted the experience on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now.” The BBC has reached out to the Secret Service, the White House, and local police for comment. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi confirmed to CBS News that the agency is aware of “reports of shots fired near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW” and is actively “working to corroborate the information with personnel on the ground.” Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
