“That individual fled briefly on foot, withdrew a firearm, and fired in the direction of our agents and officers. They returned fire and engaged,” Quinn said.
A bystander — a juvenile — was also injured during the incident and taken to the hospital. The injuries are reported to be non-life-threatening.
Quinn noted that a vice presidential motorcade had passed through the area shortly before the shooting, but said there is currently no evidence the suspect intended to target it. The investigation is ongoing.
