President Trump escorted from briefing room after apparent shooting outside White House

[Twitchy]
The Secret Service provided details of the shooting in a tweet late Monday. A 51-year-old male allegedly approached a Uniformed Division officer who was standing at his post on the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House. The man told the agent he had a weapon and, while he approached, took off in a sprint and "in a drawing motion, withdrew an object from his clothing," the statement read.
"The suspect then crouched into a shooter’s stance as if about to fire a weapon," the statement read. At that point, the agent fired his weapon and struck the subject in the torso.
That intersection is right outside the White House grounds.
The Secret Service said in a tweet that a male subject and a USSS officer were both transported to a local hospital. "At no time during this incident was the White House complex breached or were any protectees in danger," the agency said, adding the investigation is ongoing.
A law enforcement source told Fox News it appears the wounds to the suspect in the officer-involved shooting are not fatal.
There was a brief, joint presser late Monday night with the Secret Service and the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department that stressed that the investigation was in its early stages. City police will play a supporting role.
No doubt the details will soon be revealed, but in the meantime the question, dear Reader, as always is: jihadi, Antifa, or nutter?
