The US secret service has found a bullet from a semi-automatic rifle that smashed a window at the White House, according to officials.

The service has been investigating a shooting that occurred near the White House on Friday. On Tuesday morning, it discovered two bullets, one of which had smashed a window before being stopped by special anti-ballistic glass protecting the building's interior; the other round was found outside the building.

Shots were fired between two vehicles on Constitution Avenue, about half a mile from the White House, shortly after 9pm on Friday. Later the same evening, secret service officials discovered an AK-47 rifle in an abandoned Honda car. Officials could not confirm links between the bullets and the reported shooting. No one was reported injured during the incident.
