Gunshots rang out near the White House Saturday night, per multiple reporters who were on the grounds at the time.
The incident, which happened while President Trump was at the White House, comes four weeks after a gunman allegedly attempted to assassinate him at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.
Trump was supposed to be at his son Don Jr.'s wedding in the Bahamas on Saturday, but said Friday he would stay at the White House amid talks to end the Iran war.
Local and national TV correspondents who were at the White House reported hearing multiple shots, and being told by the Secret Service to take shelter.
Video posted to social media by ABC reporter Selina Wang features the sound of what appears to be dozens of shots going off, followed by TV crews diving for cover.
Fox News reported that a gunman fired multiple shots with a pistol at one of the White House gates, at which point the Secret Service returned fire.
FBI director Kash Patel confirmed there was gunfire near the White House and that the Secret Service was responding.
