A security guard at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Family Research Council was shot on Wednesday.

According to a spokesman for the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, the gunman entered lobby of the building in downtown Washington at 10:45 a.m. Wednesday morning, was confronted by the security guard and opened fire.
The guard was shot in the left arm, police said. The suspected gunman was tackled and then taken into custody.
"As far as I'm concerned, the security officer here is a hero," Metro Police Chief Cathy Lanier said.
There were initial, conflicting
reports on the unidentified guard's condition. According to the
Associated Press, the guard "is conscious and breathing" and is being
treated at a local hospital.

noting it was "standard protocol." According to the paper, news of the
shooting prompted several Washington-based conservative groups—including
Americans for Tax Reform—to tighten security.
