Man shot by agent outside CIA HQ dies

McLEAN, Va. — A man who was shot by an FBI agent after a standoff outside the CIA headquarters Monday has died of his wounds, a bureau spokeswoman said Tuesday.

The FBI confirmed the death in a one-paragraph statement that offered no new details on what occurred. FBI officials said the man stepped out of his vehicle with a weapon outside the CIA’s heavily fortified headquarters in Langley, Va., and was “engaged by law enforcement officers” at about 6 p.m. The suspect was taken to a hospital, where he died.

The man’s name, age and reason for driving to the agency have not been disclosed.

It remains unclear whether any agents or officers were also injured during the incident.

“The FBI reviews every shooting incident involving an FBI special agent,” Samantha Shero, a public affairs officer for the FBI’s Washington Field Office, said in an email. “The review will carefully examine the circumstances of the shooting and collect all relevant evidence from the scene. As the review remains ongoing, we cannot provide any additional details at this time.”
