Photos/Videos: SWAT Team Responds to Standoff at CIA Headquarters

by Editorial Team
20 March 2025
in News

A suspect allegedly armed with a handgun was arrested after a standoff with police officials in a “barricade incident” near the Central Intelligence Agency’s headquarters in McLean, Virginia, on Wednesday. The barricade incident prompted law enforcement officials to deploy a SWAT team to the scene as multiple agencies responded to the situation.

At 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday, the Fairfax County Police Department tweeted, “Dolley Madison Blvd is shut down in both directions between Georgetown Pk and Savile Ln in McLean for a barricade incident at @CIA HQ. Our Special Operations Division is on scene assisting. Please follow police direction.”

During Wednesday’s barricade incident, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) spokesperson released a statement obtained by Fox News, saying, “There is an ongoing incident that law enforcement is currently responding to outside CIA Headquarters.”

Fox 5 reported that the suspect surrendered to Fairfax County Police Department negotiators and was arrested after five hours of a standoff with law enforcement officials.

“The barricade incident has been resolved,” the Fairfax County Police Department tweeted at 3:28 p.m. “The suspect surrendered to FCPD negotiators and is in custody.”

According to Fox 5, the law enforcement agencies that responded to Wednesday’s barricade incident included a SWAT team, as well as various Fairfax County and Arlington County officials. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also responded to Wednesday’s incident.

In a statement obtained by ABC News, the FBI Washington Field Office said, “Members of the FBI Washington Field Office’s National Capital Response Squad and other FBI resources have been deployed to assist our law enforcement partners in response to an incident outside CIA Headquarters.”

Sources told ABC News that the suspect involved in the barricade incident was armed with what appeared to be a handgun outside the CIA headquarters. The sources claimed that the man pointed the firearm at his head at one point during the standoff with police officials.

Pictures shared on X, formerly Twitter, show a SWAT team and SWAT vehicles, as well as other law enforcement officials, responding to the incident outside the CIA headquarters on Wednesday.
