Law enforcement officials advised the public to avoid the area as emergency crews respond.\n\n> U.S. Secret Service personnel are on the scene of an officer-involved shooting at 15th Street and Independence Avenue in Washington, D.C. One individual was shot by law enforcement; their condition is currently unknown. Please avoid the area as emergency crews are responding. pic.twitter.com/LNUTL2F3gM\n>\n> — U.S. Secret Service Office of Communications (@SecretSvcSpox) May 4, 2026\n\nSeveral White House reporters said on social media that they were escorted away from the North Lawn following the incident and relocated inside the briefing room. President Donald Trump gave scheduled remarks at a small business summit located at the White House.\n\nThe shooting comes just one week after an attempted assassination against Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. That incident has resulted in heightened security presence at certain areas in Washington, D.C.\n\nThe circumstances around the shooting were not immediately clear. The Deseret News contacted the Secret Service for more information.\n\n_This is a developing story and will be updated._",
