Two members of the National Guard have been critically injured in a shooting near the White House in Washington, D.C., law enforcement officials said.
The victims, a man and a woman, were shot outside the Farragut West Metro station at around 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 26.
One suspect, also reportedly in critical condition, is in custody. The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that the scene has been secured, with multiple federal agencies, including the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and ATF, responding to the incident. The Pentagon chief said President Trump has requested an additional 500 troops to be deployed to Washington, D.C., in response to the shooting.
President Donald Trump, who is currently in Florida for Thanksgiving, was briefed on the shooting. In a social media post, he condemned the attack, calling the shooter an “animal” and reaffirming support for the National Guard and law enforcement.
The White House was placed on lockdown immediately after the shooting but has since downgraded the alert level. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the department is coordinating with local authorities to gather further information.
The incident occurs amid the ongoing federal deployment of more than 2,100 National Guard personnel in Washington, D.C., initially authorised by President Trump in August. The deployment has been controversial and subject to legal challenges by city officials.
