		</div><p>Donald Trump was abruptly escorted by a US Secret Service agent out of the White House briefing room as he was beginning a coronavirus update, then returned minutes later, saying there had been a “shooting” outside that was “under control”.</p>
<p>“There was an actual shooting and somebody’s been taken to the hospital,” the president said.</p>
<p>He added that the shots were fired by law enforcement officers and he believed the person who was shot was armed. “It was the suspect who was shot,” he said.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said he was escorted to the Oval Office by the agent. The White House was placed on lockdown following the incident.</p>
<p>The shooting took place near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, blocks from the White House, according to two sources. Law enforcement officials are still trying to determine the suspect’s motive.</p>
<p>The suspect was taken to a local hospital, but their condition was not immediately known.</p>
<p>Mr Trump praised the work of Secret Service personnel for their work in keeping him safe. Asked if he was shaken by the incident, he asked reporters: “I don’t know. Do I seem rattled?”</p>
