Thursday, May 28Thursday, May 28A 21-year-old gunman identified as Nasire Best was shot dead by U.S. Secret Service agents after opening fire at a security checkpoint near the White House on Saturday evening. One bystander sustained injuries in the exchange.
The incident unfolded around 6:30 p.m. local time at a checkpoint on 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, just blocks from the presidential residence, according to multiple reports . Secret Service officers returned fire, killing Best at the scene. No agents were injured.
Best, who authorities say suffered from mental health issues and believed himself to be Jesus Christ, had a documented history of violence, as confirmed by President Donald Trump in a statement praising the Secret Service’s response . Trump, who was inside the White House at the time, was unharmed.
An ABC News reporter captured the moment gunfire erupted, forcing journalists and bystanders to take cover . Police and Secret Service cordoned off the area following the shooting, with authorities maintaining a heavy presence into the night .
The FBI and Washington, D.C., police are investigating the motive, though early reports suggest Best’s actions may have been driven by his delusions and fixation on the White House. The wounded bystander’s condition has not been disclosed.
