Person shot outside CIA Headquarters during early morning security incident
A person has been shot by security guards outside the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) headquarters, according to reports.
The CIA's McLean, Virginia headquarters was rocked early Thursday morning by a shooting incident that left one person wounded and forced the closure of the agency's front gate.
Early reports indicate that the shooting is "non-fatal."
During this "security incident," as described by an insider to NBC News' Andrea Mitchell, shots were fired by guards at a person attempting to gain unauthorized access to CIA grounds.

Motorists are being directed to find other travel routes.
