WASHINGTON—A gunman shot by a U.S. Secret Service officer outside the White House remained in critical condition in a Washington hospital Saturday, one day after the shooting, a hospital spokeswoman said. Iacovetti said the gunman never made it inside the White House complex, and no one else was injured. The White House was briefly placed on lockdown Friday after a man reportedly brandished a weapon at Secret Service agents on the edge of the complex, prompting the officers to shoot him. She referred other questions to the Secret Service, but a spokesman for that agency, Robert Hoback, declined to discuss the case, citing the continuing investigation. George Washington University Hospital spokeswoman Susan Griffiths would provide only his condition.
