A witness has described hearing gunshots shortly after seeing a presidential motorcade pass through Washington D.C.<\/p>\n
In a post shared on X, Curtis Winters said he was visiting the city when he saw a large motorcade made up of around 20 motorcycle officers and multiple black SUVs.<\/p>\n
He wrote: \u201cWhile enjoying a vacation to Washington D.C. we saw a presidential motorcade drive by with about 20 motorcycle officers and 10 black SUV\u2019s, then heard shots fired.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that minutes later he was at the top of the Washington Monument, where he claimed to have taken photos of what he believed could be possible crime scenes.<\/p>\n
The claims have not been independently verified by officials, and it is not yet clear whether the reported gunshots are connected to the ongoing incident near the White House.<\/p>\n
