A person was shot outside the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Virginia's Langley on Thursday, Reuters reported, citing media reports.

A CIA spokesperson did not confirm the shooting, but said that there was a “security incident” outside the headquarters.

The spokesperson said that security personnel “engaged a person” outside the gates and that the person has been taken into custody. It also declined to say whether the suspect was hit by gunfire, according to Reuters.

In a post on X, the intelligence agency said that the main gate of its Langley compound was closed and directed employees to seek alternate routes.
