A security incident outside the CIA headquarters in Virginia on May 22 led to a nonfatal shooting and the arrest of a suspect, authorities said.

According to a CIA spokesperson, security personnel “engaged a person” outside the agency’s main gates in Langley, Virginia, and subsequently took the individual into custody. The agency declined to say whether the suspect was struck by gunfire or if anyone else was injured.
