National Mall Shooting Puts White House on Lockdown

A National Mall shooting put the White House on lockdown on Monday, prompting Secret Service to evacuate media members from the north lawn and huddle them up in the press briefing room. Roads also closed for several hours.

One of the shots hit a child, who did not suffer life-threatening injuries. Agents fired back and hit the shooter, who wound up hospitalized.
