- JUST IN: Shooter Died at Hospital After Firing Multiple Shots at White House Wit...
A male shooter who opened fire on the White House with a pistol died at a local hospital after he exchanged fire with Secret Service, Fox News correspondent Alex Hogan reported on Saturday afternoon. Hogan reported the gunman died about two hours after firing three shots at the White House. President Donald Trump was inside the Oval Office and working on finalizing a deal to end the Iran war when the shooting took place. A bystander was also hit by a bullet, with Hogan reporting it was unclear if the bystander was shot by the gunman or during the shootout that followed between the shooter and Secret Service. Hogan did not have details on the shooter’s identity. The shooting happened at the corner of 17th St. and Pennsylvania Ave. around 6:00 p.m. local time. Reuters had reported the suspect was transported to George Washington Hospital, and the Associated Press reported both the suspect and the bystander were both in critical condition when they were rushed to the hospital.

Several other reporters were rushed there as well. CNN reported its journalists also heard dozens of gunshots, “triggering a lockdown and a rapid response” from Secret Service. DC News Now reporter Chris Flanagan reported he and other journalists were released from lockdown at 6:51 p.m. local time. He said there was a “huge” law enforcement response to the shots outside the White House. Fox News reported earlier on Saturday that the shooter never got inside the White House gates.

Pergram called into The Big Weekend Show to share the latest details on the chaotic scene, which sent reporters scrambling for cover and put President Donald Trump on lockdown. He reported the condition of the pistol-wielding shooter was not immediately known, as well as the condition of the person who was shot. The attack happened around 6:00 p.m. local time. Reuters later reported the suspect was transported to George Washington Hospital, and the Associated Press reported both the suspect and the bystander who was shot are both in critical condition. Pergram reported: I am told a gunman came up near the White House on the west side, described as a Gate 17. This is kind of near 14th street on the west side of the White House, and came up and brandished some sort of a pistol; we do not know what type of pistol it was. He then fired toward the White House three times. Then the United States Secret Service, they returned fire — we do not know how many shots they got off. They apparently took the gunman down. Now, sometime in this gunfire exchange a civilian on the street was struck by this gunfire and we do not know the condition of that person right now. But the important thing to know is the gunman who came up with the pistol was taken down by the Secret Service and we do not know his condition right no. But he never got inside the perimeter of the White House. Pergram said that was information from a senior administration official who had direct knowledge of the shooting. Trump was inside the Oval Office working on getting a peace deal with Iran finished when the shots were fired. He posted earlier in the afternoon that “final aspects and details” of the deal were being worked out and that the agreement would be “announced shortly.” The sound of dozens of gunshots sent ABC News reporter Selina Wang diving for cover before she and her team were rushed to the White House press briefing room for safety; several other reporters were rushed there as well.

- WATCH: Gunshots Near White House Send ABC Reporter Scrambling for CoverABC News senior White House correspondent Selina Wang had to dive for cover and scramble for safety after dozens of gunshots were heard nearby while she was recording a video report in front of the White House on Saturday afternoon. Wang posted video of the harrowing moment on X. She was in the middle of reporting on Trump saying a peace deal with Iran was close to being signed when the shots started firing. Her camera picked up the loud sound of the gunshots as Wang immediately ducked and crawled under a table. “Down!” a man in the background — likely an ABC producer — could be heard yelling to the crew. Wang posted her team was being rushed to the White House press briefing room to stay safe. Watch below: I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now. pic.twitter.com/iqdQwh4soq — Selina Wang (@selinawangtv) May 23, 2026 CNN reported its reporters also heard dozens of gunshots, “triggering a lockdown and a rapid response” from Secret Service. ABC News reported the North Lawn was cleared by Secret Service. The gunshots were heard as Trump was inside the Oval Office as he tries to hammer out a deal to end the Iran war. Trump posted the deal has been “largely negotiated” and is on the verge of being signed after he talked to a number of leaders from the Muslim world and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday. “Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly,” Trump posted. “In addition to many other elements of the Agreement, the Strait of Hormuz will be opened. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Fox News anchor Tomi Lahren reported on the gunfire on Saturday afternoon during The Big Weekend Show.

- Megyn Kelly Declares MAGA Is Rapidly Dying: Nothing More Than a ‘Very Small Gr...Megyn Kelly believes President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement is an “increasingly tiny group” that now only includes “loyalists” who are similar to cult members. Kelly shared her state-of-MAGA take during an interview on the Hodgetwins podcast on Friday. “MAGA is not what it was. MAGA is now this very, very small group of Trump diehard loyalists who have to love Mark Levin,” Kelly said. “And so that’s by definition an increasingly tiny group.” That comment drew a chuckle from the hosts. Kelly has an ongoing feud with Levin and has accused him of having a “micropenis”; Trump came to the Fox News host’s defense afterward, saying he was a “Great American Patriot” who is getting unfairly maligned by critics who are “jealous and angry.” “I guess I’ve been surprised to see how quickly [MAGA has] shrunk down to something less formidable, by far, than it used to be,” Kelly continued. One of the twin hosts then branded the president “George Bush 2.0″ because of the “money he’s made” and the “new war he started.” Kelly agreed Trump has betrayed his base. She said: It’s stunning to me that the people who voted for the man who said over and over “No new wars,'[and] ‘No war with Iran, no Middle East wars”— and specifically over and over said “Iran” and also said “The Democrats are going to get us into a war with Iran” — that was not a throwaway line. That was a massive part of his campaigning and his promising. That those people on a dime were like “Yes, we’re pro-war with Iran! Yes, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” We all know that that’s a lie. It’s so obvious that’s a lie to get us into this conflict. A moment earlier in the show, Kelly said it was “disrespectful” to call Trump voters cultists, “but they do have the same kind of loyalty.” “Where it’s like ‘In Trump We Trust’ and he can do no wrong,” Kelly said. “And I get that. You know, they’ve been burned by a lot of other politicians. They felt like Trump got them at a time when everybody was ignoring them.” But Kelly said Trump has let them down on Iran and other issues, like his approach to the files on dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. The timing of her comments on MAGA dying off are interesting, considering Trump-backed… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- 50,000 Californians Evacuated As Chemical Tank Overheats And Officials Fear Mass...Officials in Southern California have ordered 50,000 people to evacuate as temperatures rise inside a toxic chemical tank, raising concerns of a massive leak or catastrophic explosion. The situation is happening in Garden Grove, CA, near Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, which are both outside the evacuation zone and remain open. CNN’s Rafael Romo said the tank is owned by an aerospace company, and initially, authorities thought they had the temperature under control. “Evacuation orders were initially issued for the area around the plant on Thursday, but they were lifted that night after the vapor conditions improved,” Romo said. “As crews tried to remove and contain the chemical known as methyl methacrylate, or MMA, they realize that the tank had a damaged valve so the chemical could not be removed, which prompted authorities to reinstate evacuation orders.” Romo said emergency crews were working nonstop to prevent the overheating tank from leaking or triggering what what officials warned “could be a catastrophic explosion.” Incident commander Chief Craig Covey told CNN, “Yesterday afternoon. I did report that we had some positive intel and that the tanks were stable and we were keeping the temperature cool, and actually we thought we were reducing it a little bit. Unfortunately, I have to say, ‘thought.’ Those temperatures we are doing is via drone, doing external readings on the…vessel. Unfortunately, I do have to report that the temperature was 90 degrees yesterday morning. It was 77 degrees when we backed out. It’s been averaging about a degree an hour, increasing.” Romo reported that MMA can cause “major respiratory issues, including significant irritation to the lungs and nasal passages, as well as dizziness and nausea.” “In a statement, GKN Aerospace, the company that owns the plant, apologized, quote, ‘For the significant disruption to the many local residents and businesses who have had to be evacuated. We are fully focused on working with emergency services, specialized hazardous material teams and the relevant authorities to ensure the safety of the local community, our employees and everyone else involved,’ the company said,” according to Romo. “Chief Covey with the Orange County Fire Authority said that if efforts to cool the tank fail…two possible scenarios include the tank cracking and leaking 7,000 gallons of MMA into the surrounding parking lot, or worse, the container could explode,” Romo reported.
