Per The New York Post:

Heavily armed police swarmed CIA headquarters in Virginia on Wednesday after a man with a gun reportedly started making threats outside.

The suspect allegedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at the building in McLean on Wednesday morning, ABC7 reported, citing a law enforcement official.

Newsweek has more:

An armed man was seen making threats at the gate of the CIA headquarters in Virginia, leading to a large police presence that includes the Fairfax County Bomb Squad, ABC News reported.

Officials told 7News a man pulled out a handgun and pointed it at CIA headquarters. But no shots have been fired and no injuries were reported.

Newsweek has contacted Fairfax County Police Department and the CIA for comment.

The Fairfax Police Department said in a post on X that it was dealing with a “barricade incident” at the CIA HQ: “Our Special Operations Division is on scene assisting.”

A live stream from 7News shows the authorities at the scene, including armored vehicles.

Footage from the air shot by Fox 5 showed a man, believed to be the suspect, sitting alone on a bench.
