Two members of the West Virginia National Guard were injured following a shooting near the White House in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday afternoon, according to authorities.

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey had earlier said the two were killed, but walked back his assertion less than half an hour later.

"We are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members," he wrote on X.

The shooting erupted a few blocks north of the White House. Emergency responders were sent at 2:18 p.m. ET. They treated and took three gunshot victims to the hospital, according to D.C. Fire and EMS spokesperson Vito Maggiolo.
