We're learning more about the armed suspect shot by the U.S. Secret Service near the White House on Monday afternoon.
The man was shot by Secret Service agents near 15th Street and Independence Avenue in Washington, D.C., roughly four blocks south of the White House, after he opened fire when confronted by the agents. He was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Now the man has been identified as 45-year-old Michael Marx.
The suspect in a shooting Monday afternoon on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., just blocks from the White House, has been identified as a male carrying a Texas driver's license.
The suspect has been identified as Michael Marx, 45, law enforcement officials tell NBC News.
Marx, as of Tuesday morning, remained hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds, which aren't considered life-threatening, reported.

Though Marx remains hospitalized, he is expected to be charged with multiple offenses, perhaps as early as Tuesday.
One bystander was reportedly grazed by a bullet that investigators believe came from the suspect's gun.
The suspect is alleged to have run away and brandished a firearm, which [Secret Service Deputy Director Matthew] Quinn said he fired in the direction of Secret Service agents who returned fire.
Quinn added that a bystander, who he said is a minor, was hit by gunfire and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Asked whether the bystander had been definitively hit by any gunfire from the gunman, Quinn said that he could not say and that he would instead "let the doctors figure that out."
"But everything I've seen leads me to believe, and the investigators believe, he was struck by the suspect," Quinn added.
Officials later said the bystander was a male teenager who is believed to be a tourist. The bystander suffered a superficial wound that was described as a grazing injury from the ricochet of a bullet, according to two sources.

Marx's motive remains unclear for now. President Trump had just convened a Small Business Summit at the White House at the time of the incident, and Vice President JD Vance's motorcade had just driven past the intersection where the shooting took place.
Whatever his motive, Marx, as noted, will soon be facing criminal charges. RedState will provide further updates as warranted.
