Several people were shot moments ago in Washington, DC, including a member of the US National Guard, according to CNN.
The incident occurred in downtown Washington, near the White House. The DC Metropolitan Police announced on platform X that they are at the scene and urged citizens to avoid the area.
The National Guard has not yet responded, while the circumstances of the incident remain unclear.
National Guard troops from several states have been deployed to Washington for months as part of President Donald Trump's crackdown on crime in the capital, an initiative that has since expanded to other cities across the country.
