The suspect was taken into custody after being shot. He has sustained injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, a source told the Associated Press.
One National Guard member was shot in the head, according to a person familiar with the details of the incident who spoke to AP.
The shooting happened at the corner of 17th and H Streets in the northwest quadrant of the city. Police tape cordoned off the scene where emergency fire and police vehicles’ lights flashed and helicopter blades thudded overhead. Agents from the US Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on scene, as National Guard troops stood sentry nearby. At least one helicopter landed on the National Mall.
