Gunfire erupted just steps from the White House and the Washington Monument on May 4 - only nine days after an alleged assassination plot targeting President Donald Trump and top administration officials at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner was foiled. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed to Wonderwall.com that agents opened fire on an armed suspect near the intersection of 15th Street SW and Independence Avenue in Washington, D.C., shortly after 3:30 p.m. on May 4.
