Pedestrian traffic has since resumed along the path area near the White House.

US President Donald Trump had been hosting Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for talks.

There were protests in front of the White House for Mr Erdogan's visit.

However, he had left the building by the time it went into lockdown.
