“There did not immediately appear to be any injuries, and one law-enforcement official said a shooter opened fire.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that 'No immediate injuries were reported, but one law-enforcement official stated that a shooter fired shots' appears in the evidence, specifically in the KOB.com search result for Claim 0, but the other web search results for Claim 1 are irrelevant (language translation, YouTube help, Google Account help). Therefore, it cannot be corroborated by multiple independent sources.

“Members of the National Guard took up position inside the building as people were allowed to leave but not reenter.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the evidence contains general information about the National Guard's deployment and use in Washington D.C. (Web Search results for Claim 3), none of the provided search results specifically corroborate the claim that 'National Guard members took up position inside the building after people were allowed to leave but not reenter' in the context of the specific dinner incident. The evidence is too general to confirm this specific sequence of events.
