WASHINGTON — A female driver was shot at CIA headquarters early Thursday morning in what the agency called a “security incident” after she refused to follow commands at a checkpoint, according to law enforcement sources and local police.
The “non-fatal shooting” occurred before 4 a.m. outside the agency’s main gated entrance in McLean, Va., a Fairfax County Police Department spokesperson confirmed.
“FCPD officers are currently in the area providing traffic support while the CIA conducts its investigation,” the rep added.
