WASHINGTON: US Secret Service agents arrested a man after he fired a gun outside the Ethiopian embassy in Washington on Monday, US media reported.
Video shown by Ethiopian television ESAT shows a man standing by the embassy compound and brandishing what appears to be a handgun.
Several people are heard yelling and seen trying to approach the man when a gunshot rings out.
Local media said no one was injured. A State Department spokeswoman said a man was arrested and that a protest had been taking place near the embassy.
The Secret Service did not immediately return a call from AFP.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said her office “takes very seriously any incident involving the use of a firearm.”
