BREAKING: Man fires 3 shots at White House, shoots bystander, and is taken out by Secret Service

A man armed with merely a pistol fired three shots at the White House which immediately went on lockdown. The shooting began around 6:15 p.m. EDT.

The Secret Service fired about 30 shots which neutralized the shooter to the point in which he no longer is alive.

One bystander has also been shot and is in serious condition. It isn't known who fired the shot that struck this individual, but let's hope he or she recovers.

The FBI will be holding a press briefing.

As of this moment, the White House lockdown has been lifted.

Other than the bystander and the shooter, nobody else was shot.
