Guards at CIA headquarters shot an individual early Thursday morning in what the agency called a “security incident,” a person familiar with the matter told NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell.
The non-fatal shooting on CIA property in Langley, Virginia, occurred hours after officials said two Israeli Embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were shot and killed outside D.C.’s Capital Jewish Museum.
There is no evidence that the two incidents are linked. The CIA did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for additional information.
“There was a security incident that law enforcement responded to outside CIA Headquarters,” a CIA spokesperson told NBC.
“The main gate is currently closed, employees should seek alternative routes. Additional details will be made available as appropriate,” the spokesperson said.
Fairfax County Police told NBC that they responded around 4 a.m. ET to the 900 block of Dolley Madison Boulevard to help the CIA with traffic control following the latest shooting. There are currently no road closures, the police department said.
