Two National Guard soldiers were shot Wednesday near the White House in what local authorities said was a targeted ambush. The suspect was taken into custody after suffering gunshot wounds during the attack. Reuters news agency reports that the shooting is being investigated as an act of terrorism. After the incident, the White House went into lockdown, while law enforcement officers from multiple federal and city agencies deployed en masse to the area. US President Donald Trump, who was in Florida during the incident, spoke shortly after the shooting. In his speech, he lashes out at former President Joe Biden, who, according to Trump, allowed the perpetrator to enter the country.
