Two National Guardsmen were hurt around midnight Thursday night after a lightning strike in Lafayette Square.
The guardsmen were taken to the hospital with serious injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, according to Vito Maggiolo, a spokesman for the D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department.
The lightning came during a thunderstorm that has intermittently dropped rain and blew hefty winds across the city for hours.
There were no reports of injuries to the hundreds of protesters who continued to march and demonstrate in the severe weather.
