The seal of CIA is seen in the lobby the headquarters building in Langley, Va., on Sept. 24, 2022.

A nonfatal shooting took place outside CIA headquarters in Virginia early Thursday morning, officials said.

A CIA spokesperson said law enforcement responded to a “security incident” outside headquarters in Langley. The main gate is closed until further notice, the spokesperson added.

The Fairfax County Police Department said patrol officers responded to the scene at approximately 4 a.m. EDT “to assist CIA Police with traffic control following a non-fatal shooting on CIA property.”

Officers were still providing traffic support midmorning Thursday while the CIA conducted the investigation.

The CIA did not provide additional details about the suspect or incident.

The FBI in a post on social platform X late Monday morning said there was no threat to public safety.

#FBI personnel, including members of our Evidence Response Team, remain at the scene assisting our partners. We have no further details to provide currently due to the ongoing investigation,” the bureau added.

USA Today reported law enforcement shot and wounded a female driver after she failed to stop her vehicle as she approached the gate of CIA headquarters early Thursday morning. NBC News also reported the suspect was a woman.

A similar incident occurred in March, when police responded to a “barricade incident” at CIA headquarters.
