The U.S. Secret Service shot a suspect near the White House on Sunday after agents noticed the outline of a weapon under the man’s clothing. The incident triggered a brief lockdown of the executive mansion and a large police cordon around the Washington Monument area. Both Der Spiegel and Le Monde reported on the tense scene in the U.S. capital, though details about the suspect’s identity and motive remained scant as of Monday morning. The White House lockdown was lifted shortly after the situation was contained.
