A uniformed Secret Service officer shot and injured a man during a confrontation near the White House on Monday that led to President Donald Trump being abruptly escorted out of a briefing room during a televised news conference.

The White House complex was not breached and no-one under Secret Service protection was in danger, Tom Sullivan, chief of the Secret Service Uniformed Division, said.
