Correspondents reported hearing multiple shots fired near the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
The U.S. Secret Service was heard telling reporters to "get down," before the press were ushered into the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room in the West Wing.
Secret Service agents were seen on the grounds with their weapons drawn.
