The U.S. Secret Service announced Sunday it is investigating reports of overnight gunfire near Lafayette Park, located directly across the street from the White House.

The incident occurred after midnight, prompting a response from law enforcement officials. The Secret Service conducted a thorough search of Lafayette Park and the surrounding area following the reports.

No injuries were reported in connection with the incident, according to the agency's statement posted online. Additionally, no suspect was located during the subsequent search operation.

Lafayette Park, a seven-acre public park, sits immediately north of the White House and has historically served as a gathering place for demonstrations and public events. The park's proximity to the presidential residence makes any security incidents in the area a matter of heightened concern for law enforcement.

The Secret Service did not immediately release additional details about the nature of the reported gunfire or the scope of their ongoing investigation. The agency routinely investigates all potential security threats in the vicinity of the White House complex.
