WASHINGTON (AP) — A security incident outside CIA headquarters
early Thursday led to a shooting, authorities said.
Officers with the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia
responded to what they described as a “nonfatal” shooting at the
agency’s headquarters in McLean around 4 a.m. to assist CIA
police with traffic control.
The officers remained in the area “providing traffic support
while the CIA conducts its investigation,” the department said.
The FBI said it was helping with the investigation. The bureau
declined to respond when asked to identify any suspects or
whether authorities had discovered a motive for the incident.
“There is no ongoing threat to public safety,” the FBI wrote on
social media.
The CIA likewise declined to comment when asked about details of
the incident.
“There was a security incident that law enforcement responded to
outside CIA Headquarters,” the agency said in a statement.
“Additional details will be made available as appropriate.”
The CIA's headquarters is in McLean, Virginia, a Washington
suburb about 10 miles from downtown.
