A man with a rifle fired 15 to 20 shots at the federal courthouse in Wheeling, W.Va., before security officers returned fire. The suspect died from his wounds, ABC News reports.

One officer was reportedly hurt by shattered glass inside the courthouse but no other injuries were reported, said Chief deputy Mike Claxton.

A motive is not yet determined.
