An alleged "intruder" at the Peruvian Embassy in Washington, D.C., was shot and killed by Secret Service Wednesday morning, according to authorities.

The suspect was found smashing windows of the Peruvian ambassador's residence, D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee told reporters.

The ambassador's relatives were inside and called the police just after 8 a.m., Contee said.

The suspect was shot "following a confrontation" in the backyard of the residence, the Secret Service said. Contee said the suspect allegedly pulled a metal stake on police. Officers used lethal force when Tasers didn't work, he said.

2. Ya, not exactly a bright idea to start breaking windows at any embassy as it can have

some rather tragic consequences.

7. Yeah, they should stick to places where the penalty for forced entry is much milder

Such as the U. S. Capitol building. for instance……

10. Goes for almost anywhere actually as most people tend to react negatively

to someone trying to break in.

3. Perhaps related to Peruvians' protests against their government and Chinese exploitation.

4. Maybe, maybe not. What is clear though is that intentionally breaking windows at any embassy

can have repercussions.
