"Law enforcement shot someone, it seems to be, the suspect. And the suspect is on the way to the hospital," he said.
Trump said he knew nothing about the identity or motives of the person shot, but when asked if the person had been armed, he answered: "From what I understand, the answer is yes."
"It might not have had anything to do with me," Trump added, saying the incident took place "on the outside" of the White House perimeter.
