Suspect Dead Approaching White House Checkpoint With Weapon
A man identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best died after opening fire at a White House security checkpoint and being shot by officers. This incident marks the third time in the past month that gunfire has occurred in the vicinity of President Donald Trump. Best had a prior arrest record for attempting to enter a White House checkpoint without authorization and had been issued a pretrial stay away order. A bystander was also struck during Saturday’s shooting, though it remains unclear if they were hit by the suspect’s or the officers’ gunfire.
