A harrowing scene unfolded outside the White House on Saturday as Secret Service agents confronted a gunman who opened fire near a security gate, killing him.
“Shortly after 6 p.m Saturday an individual in the area of 17th street and Pennsylvania Avenue pulled a weapon from his bag and began firing,” a Secret Service spokesman said in a statement.
“Secret Service Police returned fire striking the suspect who was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased. During the shooting one bystander was also struck by gunfire.”
“No injuries were sustained by officers. The President was in the White House during the incident, however no protectees or operations were impacted,” they added.
The Secret Service also noted that it was “unclear whether the bystander was struck by the suspect’s initial gunfire or during the subsequent exchange of gunfire,” according to MS NOW.
The shooting prompted the White House to temporarily go into lockdown, as agents ordered reporters gathered at the north lawn to shelter in the briefing room.

Other reporters also took cover during the incident.
The bystander shot, described as a young male, was transported to the hospital and is reportedly undergoing surgery.
FBI Director Kash Patel reported the FBI was on the scene investigating the situation.
An update from White House Communications Director Steven Cheung noted Trump was still working at 8 PM ET after the shooting happened.
CNN reported the Secret Service and DC Metro PD were familiar with the shooter, whom they described as “possibly an emotionally disturbed person,” and that he’d previously been encountered at different White House access points and may have been subject to a restraining order.
The New York Post identified the man as 21-year-old Nasire Best, noting he “believed he was Jesus Christ,” and used a revolver during the incident.
Saturday’s incident marks the second time shots have been fired in close proximity to the president in as many months, following last month’s shooting at the White House Correspondent’s Association Dinner.

Remember back in the day when judges would impose strict sentences for repeat offenders in turn preventing lunatics from wandering the streets repeatedly committing more serious crimes? That was before Soros put them on his payroll with the goal of turning these criminals loose on law abiding citizens while simultaneously increasing Democrats voting pool and allowing innocent people to be labeled racist for justifiably wanting violent criminals behind bars.

BLOOD SOAKED HANDS… As all the previous attempts to homicide President Trump 45-46-47, his family, close allies and any one of his millions and millions of allies and associates the world over, starting at the top of the crime family pyramid of the global crime families with the godfathers, down the lie to the underbosses, consiglieres, capos, soldiers and associates; anyone in the past (or who intends to continue in the future), who has incited or committed violence against the aforementioned, or spoken a lie against the aforementioned or committed any other sin in thought, word and deed against the aforementioned is responsible for the unrepentant devil worshiper attempting to stop the constitutionally required, God commanded, Make America Great Again, Make America First Again righteous agenda.
HOW THE STORY ENDS… Be warned, our best humans aka those born with the mark/777 of the Holy Spirit, who have experienced their regeneration/born again moment, may not know every name of the guilty unrepentant devil worshipers and all their sins in thought, word and deed, but the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob surely does, for their inevitable and unavoidable appointment of the judgment seat of God, Jesus the Christ, whereby when the true God removes an unrepentant devil worshiper from their earthly existence at the exact moment determined in the will of the Godhead in eternity past, each one will be firmly placed naked and afraid on the judgment seat of God, Jesus the Christ, wherein in the presence of the human victims of their sins of self rule in thought, word and deed, their every idle thought, word and deed will be judged against the backdrop of God’s holy righteousness, based on his holy justice, after which time each unrepentant devil worshiper will weep and gnash their teeth for eternity under God’s holy wrath in utter lonliness and darkness in direct proportion to the exact number of sins and the magnitude of each sin he or she committed in his or her earthly existence. Then each unrepentant devil worshiper will ask himself or herself over and over for eternity, what profit was for me to rule myself, in an attempt to be my own god, only to lose my soul to hell. Repent, your/the end is near!
