WASHINGTON — A security guard opened fire on a person at a Fox affiliate television station in northwest Washington, D.C., Monday afternoon, police say. WTTG Fox 5 reported the person shot was attempting to break into its Wisconsin Avenue studios.

The incident was reported just after 3 p.m., according to Washington Metropolitan Police. The person was wounded and was “conscious and breathing,” a police spokesperson said. Police couldn’t confirm the person shot was an intruder.

WTTG reports the person shot was taken to a hospital in critical condition. WTTG photojournalist Will Cockey posted video to Twitter of a man being wheeled on a gurney into an ambulance, apparently conscious. Cockey said in the tweet the man was shot in the building’s lobby.

Anchor Jim Lokay tweeted everyone in the building is OK.
