Shots Fired Near White House: Report
Source: Huffington Post

A law enforcement source says that shots were fired at 9:04 p.m. at Constitution Ave. and 16th St., near the ellipse. The Secret Service saw it and put out a description of two vehicles. One was abandoned and recovered at 23rd and Constitution. An AK-47 was recovered. Witnesses also reported seeing someone running across the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge.
The source does not believe it was directed at the White House -- he speculated that it was probably an issue between the two vehicles.

3. It was 6 or 9 blocks away
and had nothing to do with the White House. The press headlines are misleading.

4. Um the elipse is directly in front of the White House.
Well, technically it's in back of the White House, since the Front is on Pa. Ave.

5. Sensationalize headlines for no good reason much?
I would unrec the thread, but the lousy headline is not the OP's fault.
