Officer Nathan Clarke said no other details were immediately available, including the exact locations of the gunfire, specifics on the barricade or the extent of the victims’ injuries, according to The Associated Press.

The FBI Washington Field Office is also responding to the scene and urged the public to avoid the area.

Authorities cordoned off much of the 1500 block of 15th Street, which includes residences, a VIDA fitness center and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, and sits around the corner from a Whole Foods supermarket.

Several District of Columbia Public Schools were placed on alert status, meaning instruction continues inside while no one is allowed to enter or exit the buildings. The impacted schools are Marie Reed ES, Garnet-Patterson STAY Opportunity Academy, Thomson ES, Brent ES, Cardozo EC, John Lewis ES, Banneker Academic HS, Garrison ES, Adams Middle School Campus (Oyster-Adams), Bancroft ES, and Ross ES.

Road closures and traffic delays were reported throughout the area. All westbound lanes of Constitution Avenue Northwest at 15th Street remain blocked, though eastbound lanes have reopened. Additional closures are in place along 14th and 15th streets at P, R and S streets Northwest, and motorists are urged to seek alternate routes.

Earlier this week, two were arrested after an attempted breach of the White House.

One individual was arrested after crashing his car into a structure at Lafayette Park, just north of the White House. Another was simultaneously arrested after jumping a barricade near the northwest corner of Lafayette Park, apparently breaching the security perimeter surrounding the White House.
