Overview
- The agency launched an investigation early Sunday after reports of gunfire near Lafayette Park, which sits across from the White House.
- Teams swept the park and surrounding streets and found no injuries or suspects tied to the report.
- The North Lawn remained closed to press and staff as protective units kept a heightened posture on the grounds.
- Investigators are tracking a possible fleeing vehicle and a person of interest with support from U.S. Park Police and D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department.
- Lafayette Park lies directly north of the White House, so reports there trigger swift lockdown steps, especially when President Donald Trump is in the city for Easter events.
