Fox News:
A security guard at the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C., was shot in the arm by a gunman who sources said expressed disagreement with the conservative group's policy positions.
The guard, who was not identified, was conscious after the shooting and was being treated. The shooting occurred in the Chinatown neighborhood Wednesday morning. The gunman was apprehended and was being questioned by the FBI, sources said. Sources said he is in his twenties and may have been posing as an intern.
The suspect "made statements regarding their policies, and then opened fire with a gun striking a security guard," a source told Fox News.
Authorities were treating the attack as a case of domestic terrorism
Politico:
The shooting occurred on the 800 block of G Street NW, inside the Christian lobbying organization’s headquarters, FRC president Tony Perkins confirmed in a statement.
“The police are investigating this incident. Our first concern is with our colleague who was shot today. Our concern is for him and his family,” he said.

(Earlier reports suggested, erroneously, that two had been shot.)
