The incident occurred Just after 6:00 p.m. Nasire Best walked up to a Secret Service security checkpoint of the White House, pulled out a weapon from a bag and fired at officers. Officers returned fire and shot the suspect, critically injuring him. He was rushed to a hospital where he was declared dead. A bystander was also struck.
Best had been arrested in July 2025 after he tried to access the White House, and he was subsequently sent to a psychiatric facility.
The shots were caught on video by various White House correspondents, who were also seen running for cover. A lockdown was placed on the White House, which contained reporters and journalists0 at the time of the incident and was lifted after an hour following Best’s death announcement.
