KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — State leaders are reacting after two West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot near the White House on Wednesday afternoon.

The two guardsmen were in critical condition in a local hospital, FBI Director Kash Patel said.

Trump administration orders 500 more National Guard members to Washington after shooting, Pete Hegseth says.

The shooting appeared to be targeted at the Guard members, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said. It happened at the corner of 17th and H Streets in the northwest quadrant of the city, roughly two blocks northwest of the White House, at around 2:15 p.m.

The shooter was detained by other National Guard members who intervened after the suspect started shooting. The suspect is being treated at a local hospital.
