The US Secret Service shot a man outside the White House early on Sunday after an "armed confrontation", the service said in a statement.
It had earlier received a tip-off from local police about a "suicidal individual who may be travelling to Washington DC from Indiana", it said.
Its officers approached a man matching that description, "who brandished a firearm", adding that shots were fired. The man is now in hospital in an "unknown" condition, it said.
