The CIA reported a “security situation” outside of its headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia, on Monday.
A pair of law enforcement officers said a man, who has yet to be identified, attempted to drive through a checkpoint without the proper access credentials, according to NBC News. No shots were fired, and negotiations were reportedly occurring with the person in his or her vehicle, sources told the outlet.
The CIA confirmed an incident and said that the “compound remains secure.”
“In coordination with our local law enforcement partners, we are addressing a security situation just outside the secure perimeter of CIA headquarters by our main gate on Route 123,” a CIA spokesperson told WJLA. “Our compound remains secured, and our security protective officers working the incident are the only agency personnel directly involved.”
A temporary flight restriction has been activated in the area.
Neither the CIA nor the Fairfax County Police Department immediately responded to requests for comment from the Washington Examiner.
This is a developing story, and it will be updated.
