This just took place,” President Trump said, adding that the individual had been taken to the hospital.“I can’t tell you the condition of the suspect,” he said.

“There was nobody else injured.

There was no other law enforcement injured.”Trump said he did not know whether it was threat directed at him.

“They’re going to find that out,” he said.
