Deputy Director Matt Quinn said the confrontation at 15th Street and Independence Avenue injured a juvenile bystander, who was hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries; the suspect was also taken to hospital.
Quinn said surveillance personnel spotted a visible firearm print, the person fled briefly, then drew a gun and fired at agents, who returned fire. Police secured the area and warned of hours-long road closures.
Authorities said the incident, near the Washington Monument, appeared quickly contained with no immediate sign of a broader threat. Quinn said it was too early to say whether the suspect was targeting President Donald Trump.
