Man Shoots Secret Service Near White House

A 21-year-old man, Nasire Best, fatally shot Secret Service officers near a White House checkpoint after pulling a gun from his bag—this wasn’t his first brush with security: he’d been arrested last year for claiming to be Jesus, blocked access, and even involuntarily committed for disrupting traffic. Social media posts linked to him threatened Trump and declared him the son of God. A bystander was also critically wounded. President Trump was inside the White House and unharmed. Investigators are still unraveling what drove this deadly confrontation amid deepening questions about security and mental health risks around sensitive government sites.
