a shooter apparently aiming a gun at the white house. law enforcement sources say an unidentified gunman brand dished a weapon at the secret service checkpoint on the white house grounds and they responded instantly firing on the suspect. we're told that they hit the suspect in the abdomen and stopped him, stopped him right where he stood and then they rushed to clear the north lawn, pennsylvania avenue, lafayette park and all of the areas immediately surrounding the white house. reporters were shepherded into the shelter. we don't know how many victims there might be or what condition they could be in right now and we'll go to joe johns in the briefing room and he can give us the latest information. joe, what do we know right now? >> jake, a short time ago here at the white house complex, the guns came out. secret service pushed people outside of the building on this beautiful day inside and told individuals who were on the complex to stay inside. a shelter in place and the white house in and of itself and what we found out was apparentl

bottom line, democrats can win the white house without winning the majority of white voters which is hey've been doing since 1964. to put it another way, with emojis, barack obama becoming president was able to do so with just about three, half the emojis here. and he still becomes president of the united states. whereas, for republicans to win, they've got to win, take off a little guy here. they've got to get almost seven of these little emoji guys to become president. why is that? it's because of the new shape of the american electorate. and the percentage of white voters that are a part of it. white voters going all the way back to 1976 with the jimmy carter election, they're 89% of the vote. and that percentage has been going down, down, a little up, and then down ever since. to the point where by 2016, white voters are expected to be only 69% of the electorate. and we're going to have a record share of the electorate that will be nonwhite. it's expected to be 30%. what does that mean for the election that's coming up? it means that democrats can actually win by only winning abou

nevertheless, the white house went to lockdown mode. the media was kept into the briefing room or the office attached to the west wing for quite some sometime before they were let out. white house tells us that president obama was briefed while on the golf course. we do not know if he then had to be secured or taken somewhere else or left the course for precautionary purposes. white house also stating that there were no injuries to any white house personnel. we are obviously in a bit more tense situation. when it comes to security in light of what may or may not been the cause of the plane going down, the egyptair flight. there were a series of fence jumpers and even in 2011 someone did fire a gun and hit the white house building as well as a window. they have been stepping up efforts some bit over the past year. including adding spikes to the top of the fence line and second level of barricades. this is just one more reason the se up all of the protective measures there at the white house. leon: scott thuman reporting live from the news

the white house doesn't have that view. we're going to be strongly supportive of our friends in brazil as they tackle the significant challenges they're facing right now. we have talked about the support we have offered in terms of confronting this public health challenge related to the zika virus. and there is some assistance the u.s. has already provided and we stand ready to provide additional assistance as needed to help brazil fight zika. we do that because as we learned from ebola, our investments in the capacity that other countries have to confront public health challenges ultimately has an impact on the public health and wellbeing and safety of the american people. so we know that the preponderance of the zika virus is much more intense in brazil, and so we certainly stand ready to help them confront that challenge. as it relates to the olympics, i think -- hosting the summer olympics is a significant undertaking for any country that chooses to assume that challenge. and the truth is, the world is rooting for brazil
