An ABC News reporter ducked for cover as gunshots rang out near the White House on Saturday (23 May), when a gunman opened fire at a security checkpoint. A person approached the checkpoint at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, pulled a weapon out of his bag, and began firing, according to a Secret Service statement posted on social media. Officers returned fire and shot the suspect, who was later taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, the agency said. It marked the third incident of gunfire near Donald Trump in the past month. Footage shows senior White House correspondent Selina Wang mid-way through a report before gunfire rings out. She and her colleagues then duck for cover.
