Man shot outside White House remains in critical condition

 A man shot by a U.S. Secret Service officer near the White House remained in critical condition in a Washington hospital one day after the shooting, a hospital spokeswoman said. Sources says the  man was shot once after he approached a checkpoint at about 3 p.m. and refused repeated commands to drop his weapon.

The man was taken to the hospital after a first aid was given to him by a secret service personnel.
