A 45-year-old Texas man has been charged with firing a weapon at law enforcement officers near the Washington Monument on Monday, according to federal authorities.

Michael Marx is accused of shooting at Secret Service agents in the incident that occurred near the iconic memorial on the National Mall. Authorities have not disclosed specific details about the circumstances that led to the shooting or whether anyone was injured.

According to law enforcement sources, Marx was walking along the path of Vice President JD Vance's motorcade route prior to the shooting incident. The timing and location of Marx's presence in relation to the vice president's movements are part of the ongoing investigation.

Authorities say Marx had previously expressed hostility toward the White House, though officials have not provided details about the nature or timing of those statements. The Secret Service has not commented on whether Marx posed a direct threat to any government officials.

The incident prompted an immediate law enforcement response in the area around the Washington Monument, one of the most heavily secured locations in the nation's capital. The investigation into the shooting remains active, with federal authorities leading the case.
