IN FULL:
Guards at Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) headquarters in Langley, Virginia, shot an individual during a “security incident” early Thursday. The non-fatal shooting, which occurred around 4 AM. ET, came just hours after the killing of two Israeli Embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, outside D.C.’s Capital Jewish Museum. However, authorities have found no evidence linking the events.
“There was a security incident that law enforcement responded to outside CIA Headquarters,” a CIA spokesman said, withholding further details pending investigation. The agency swiftly closed its main gate, advising employees to use alternate routes, while Fairfax County Police assisted with traffic control.
The Langley incident follows a deadly attack on Israeli diplomats, amplifying concerns about security in the nation’s capital. While the CIA shooting’s motives remain unclear, its timing—mere hours after the embassy staff murders—highlights the volatile environment in the Democrat-run city.
