WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Secret Service has arrested a man who officers believe fired a gun near the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington.
U.S. Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said in an emailed statement that when Secret Service officers investigated a report of shots fired around 12:15 p.m. Monday, they detained a man believed to be the shooter.
His name was not released. The Secret Service says there were no reported injuries.
The embassy is on International Drive in northwest Washington. There was no immediate answer at a main embassy telephone number Monday afternoon.
