Up to two people were arrested near the White House on Saturday on weapons charges, multiple media outlets reported Monday. ABC News reported, citing the US Secret Service, “the first individual was arrested for possession of a BB gun, while the second individual was arrested for carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of unregistered ammunition.”
“During the course of the encounter and subsequent arrests, the individuals posed no immediate danger to any Secret Service protectee,” the spokesperson told ABC News in a statement. US President Joe Biden was not in the White House during the incident as he had left to Camp David on Friday.
