The US Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday that flights to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were briefly paused following the shooting of two members of the National Guard near the White House.

The ground stop temporarily “paused arrivals into Reagan Washington International Airport because of the locations of aircraft involved in responding to today’s shooting incident,” the FAA said in a statement.

“Normal operations have resumed.”

The brief disruption came a day before Thanksgiving, which is among the busiest periods of the year for air travel in the United States.
