A woman was shot outside of the CIA headquarters after driving up to a gate at the facility and failing to stop, according to sources.
The incident unfolded around 4am on Thursday outside of the headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
Sources told CBS News that the woman had failed to stop and was shot in the upper body. She was taken to a medical facility, the outlet reported.
The shooting occurred hours after Israeli embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were gunned down in DC, just eight miles away.
There is no evidence that the two incidents are linked at this time, the CIA has not responded to DailyMail.com’s request for more information.

Cops said that they had been called to the area at around 4am to help the agency with traffic control following the shooting.
A spokesperson for the agency said: ‘There was a security incident that law enforcement responded to outside CIA Headquarters.
‘The main gate is currently closed, employees should seek alternative routes. Additional details will be made available as appropriate.’

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter said that the two were about to be engaged, with Lischinsky buying an engagement ring just this week.

He said: ‘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!’
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon described the shooting as a ‘depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism.’
