Two US National Guard soldiers have been shot near the White House, according to officials, with police swarming the area. Two anonymous law enforcement officials said the soldiers' conditions are not known, but emergency responders and a helicopter were seen in the area.

The Joint DC Task Force confirmed an incident in the vicinity of the White House, but did not say if any National Guard members had been shot. The Metropolitan Police Department also said they were responding to a shooting, though did not give more information.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Donald Trump, who was at his golf course in Florida at the time of the incident, has been briefed.

She said: "The White House is aware and actively monitoring this tragic situation. The President has been briefed."
