The gunman who opened fire at the Secret Service checkpoint near the White House earlier today has been identified as Nasire Best, a 21-year-old from Maryland. He was shot by Secret Service agents and died on the way to the hospital.<\/p>\n

The motive behind the attack is not clear yet.<\/p>\n

Best was allegedly “mentally troubled” and was known to the US security officials for loitering around many entry posts, the\u00a0New York Post<\/a>\u00a0reported. He violated a previous court order to stay away from the White House, it said.<\/p>\n

On June 26, 2025, Best reportedly obstructed vehicular traffic at 15th Street, following which he was involuntarily committed (admitted to a psychiatric facility for mental health treatment against their wishes). Within two weeks, on July 10, 2025, he was arrested for bypassing a restricted White House pedestrian control post by walking through an exit turnstile lane.<\/p>\n

When the security agents detained him, Best said that he believed he was the modern-day incarnation of Jesus Christ, the New York Post said.<\/p>\n

He also reportedly told officials that he “wanted” to get arrested.<\/p>\n

Nasire Best\u00a0<\/a>pulled a weapon from his bag and fired at a security checkpoint near the White House around 5 am (IST). The officers fired back, hitting him. A bystander was also shot during the incident, but a law enforcement official said it was not clear whether that person was struck by the suspect’s initial bullets or those fired subsequently by officers.<\/p>\n

Best was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump was inside the White House when the shooting took place. However, he was “not impacted”, officials said.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the shooting, a yellow crime scene tape was secured near the White House, and dozens of police officials were at the scene.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Police Department cautioned people to avoid the area in a post on X.<\/p>\n

The shooting comes nearly a month after an attempted assassination of Trump during the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at a Washington hotel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
