A nonfatal shooting took place outside CIA headquarters in Virginia early Thursday morning, officials said.
A CIA spokesperson said law enforcement responded to a “security incident” outside headquarters in Langley. The main gate is closed until further notice, the spokesperson added.
Fairfax County Police Department said patrol officers responded to the scene at approximately 4 a.m. “to assist CIA Police with traffic control following a non-fatal shooting on CIA property.”
Officers were still providing traffic support midmorning on Thursday while the CIA conducted the investigation.
The CIA did not provide additional details about the suspect or incident.
USA Today reported that law enforcement shot and wounded a female driver after she failed to stop her vehicle as she approached the gate of CIA headquarters early Thursday morning. NBC News also reported that the suspect was a woman.
A similar incident occurred in March, when police responded to a “barricade incident” at CIA headquarters.
