DOZENS of cops have swarmed the CIA headquarters after a man with a gun reportedly fired shots into the air and was heard making threats outside an entry gate Wednesday morning.
Police and SWAT teams have shut down roads leading to the CIA campus over a threat to the facility, officials confirmed.

A passerby of the incident called the police response “massive” with an entire entrance to the Langley, Virginia, headquarters being blocked off by police officers, military vehicles, and fire trucks rushing to assist.
Journalist Andrew Leyden posted on X that the “Subject has fired multiple rounds into the air.”
Traffic alerts from the Fairfax County Police warn residents of road closures due to a “barricade incident at CIA HQ.”
The CIA has confirmed that there were “threats” at the gate, which is less than 10 miles from Washington, D.C., but has yet to provide any further details about the incident.
The CIA and local cops didn’t immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s requests for comment.
A live stream of the incident on Facebook shows a dozen officers gathered around the entrance with other vehicles surrounding the area.
The attack comes just hours after President Trump released a portion of classified papers on the shooting of JFK.
The 80,000 pages related to the fatal November 22, 1963, shooting may provide insight into decades-long unfounded rumors that the CIA was involved in the shooting of the former president.
For years, rumors have swirled regarding the Dallas shooting, leading Americans to beg for documents without redactions–on Tuesday night, Trump answered some of their pleas.
“In accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released,” the administration’s statement read.
Trump told the public that they have “a lot of reading” to do ahead of the release of the papers.
Presidential historian Michael Beschloss told NBC News that people have “so many doubts,” he’s not sure whether these reports will help.
“There are so many theories that are conflicting. It’s very hard for me to imagine that there will be one piece of evidence that will make everyone agree on what happened here,” Beschloss said.
“What most people do agree is that the killing of John Kennedy changed history, and mainly in a bad way.”
Trump’s release adds to the 13,000 records the Biden administration made public in December 2022.
The administration only released the documents after it was sued by the Mary Ferrell Foundation, the country’s largest nonprofit repository of JFK assassination records.
“It’s high time that the government got its act together and obeyed the spirit and the letter of the law,” Jefferson Morley, vice president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, told NBC News at the time.

“This is about our history and our right to know it,” he said.
In a statement about why some documents were kept classified, Biden stated that the its been postponed to “protect against an identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure.”
However, some presidential historians argue that there’s no reason for keeping the documents classified.
“We’re 59 years after President John Kennedy was killed, and there’s just no justification for this,” U.S. District Judge John Tunheim told NBC News.
