A shooting reportedly took place in Washington DC's Navy Yard on Thursday, with visuals from the scene shared online.
Independent journalist Nick Sortor shared a clip showing heavily armed US Capitol Police officers rushing to the scene, near a high-ranking US government official.
The alleged shooter is reportedly not in custody yet, and police are searching the area.
The DC Police Department and the US Capitol Police are yet to comment on the matter.
Several people wondered about the politicians who live in the Navy Yard neighborhood, with some speculating that the attack may have been targeted.
However, the name of the official has not been released yet, and the claim that the shooting 'targeted Donald Trump' remains unverified.
