<Reporter> At

5:48 pm local time yesterday, a Secret Service agent suddenly approaches President Trump during a Corona 19 briefing at the White House.

[Secret Guard Agent: President, I have to go outside. (What?) You have to go outside.]

President Trump leaves the briefing without any explanation.

On the grounds of the White House, heavily armed agents were seen moving in an emergency.


This is the road behind the White House.

Soon after the shooting, all roads around the White House were controlled.

After an urgent period of about five minutes, President Trump reappeared.

[Trump/US President: I'm sorry. There was a shooting outside the White House. The situation seems to be under control now.] The

Secret Service said that a man approached an agent at a post outside the White House and pretended to shoot a gun, claiming that he had a weapon, and fired in response.

The man who was shot by the agent was taken to the hospital.

Early on the same day, a massive riot broke out in Chicago.

As the false rumors that the police shot and killed citizens spread through social media, looting took place throughout the city.


[Lory Lightfoot/ Mayor of Chicago: I'll clarify, but this riot has nothing to do with the constitution that regulates freedom of expression and assembly.] After a

firefight, more than 100 people were arrested, and Chicago police reported after 8pm. Fully controlled access to the city center.
