Authorities in Washington DC are investigating a shooting that left two National Guard troops fatally wounded just blocks from the White House on Wednesday afternoon, triggering a brief lockdown of government buildings and an immediate response from President Donald Trump.
The attack took place around 2:20 pm ET near the entrance to the Farragut West Metro station, at the intersection of 17th and I Street NW, a high-traffic zone less than half a mile from the executive mansion.
