Secret Service responds to reports of shots fired at White House

The Secret Service said Saturday afternoon that it was responding to reports that a person "allegedly suffered a self-inflicted gun shot wound" near the fence of the White House's north lawn.

The tweet from the Secret Service came following reports of a lock down at the White House, which was lifted a few minutes later. They added that there were no other reported injuries relating to the incident.
