According to Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi, officers approaching the vehicle were met with the man brandishing a firearm, leading to an armed confrontation. Secret Service agents discharged their weapons during the exchange.

No injuries were reported among law enforcement officers. The suspect was transported to a nearby hospital, but his condition has not been disclosed. The Secret Service has confirmed that the man’s status remains unknown at this time.
