The U.S. Secret Service shot an armed man near the White House following an armed confrontation early Sunday morning. The incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday near the intersection of G Street NW and 17th Street, close to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. The man, identified as 27-year-old Andrew Dawson from Indiana, was reported to be suicidal by local police before the incident. Dawson was carrying a BB gun and a cell phone-style handgun, which is illegal to own in D.C. Authorities later found a .22 caliber rifle, a high-capacity magazine, and 23 rounds of ammunition in his vehicle parked nearby on F Street NW. Dawson was hospitalized following the shooting, and his condition remains unknown. He faces multiple charges, including carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and possession of unregistered ammunition. No Secret Service agents were injured during the confrontation. President Donald Trump was not in Washington, D.C., at the time of the shooting, as he was at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
