In a chilling security breach at the CIA headquarters in McLean, Virginia, a female driver was shot after ignoring orders to stop at the entrance gate. This incident follows just hours after an anti-Semitic terror attack killed two Israeli embassy workers in Washington, D.C., highlighting growing threats to American national security facilities and Jewish Americans across the nation.
Attempted Breach at CIA Headquarters Raises Alarm
The woman, whose identity and motives remain unknown, approached the main entrance of the CIA headquarters around 4 a.m. ET on Thursday. Security personnel issued multiple commands for her to stop, but when she continued advancing toward the secure facility, officers opened fire, striking her in the upper body.

The CIA immediately closed its front gate following the incident, advising staff and visitors to use alternate routes. This marks the third security incident at CIA headquarters in recent years, following a March standoff where Robert Scofield fired rounds toward the building and a 2021 incident where a man was fatally shot after approaching with a weapon.

DC Terror Attack Precedes CIA Incident
The shooting at CIA headquarters came mere hours after a deadly anti-Semitic attack at the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. Two Israeli Embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were shot and killed by Elias Rodriguez, who was heard chanting “free, free Palestine” during his arrest.
The FBI and D.C. police are investigating the museum shooting as a hate crime, with both U.S. and Israeli officials condemning the attack. Former Israeli Ambassador Mike Herzog revealed the heartbreaking detail that the couple was about to be engaged. During their planned trip to Jerusalem next week, Lischinsky recently purchased a ring to propose to Milgrim.
Growing Security Concerns Across America
The FBI has taken over the investigation of the CIA gate incident, working to determine if there are any connections to other security threats. While authorities believe the CIA incident is unrelated to the museum shooting, both events underscore the increasing security challenges facing American institutions and Jewish communities.
“These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW! Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA. Condolences to the families of the victims. So sad that such things as this can happen! God Bless You ALL!” – Mr. Trump
Following these back-to-back incidents, federal law enforcement agencies have heightened security measures at government facilities. The woman shot at CIA headquarters has been transported to a medical facility with non-fatal injuries and will likely face serious federal charges once the investigation determines her motives for attempting to breach one of America’s most secure intelligence facilities.
