While a CIA spokesperson did not confirm whether the gunfire struck the suspect or disclose any other details, they acknowledged the “security incident” that law enforcement responded to outside the agency’s main compound.
In a statement posted on X, the CIA said its main gate was temporarily closed and advised employees to use alternate routes.
The shooting occurred just hours after two staffers at the Israeli Embassy were fatally shot by a lone gunman in downtown Washington on Wednesday night.
