A 21-year-old man, identified as Nasire Best, opened fire at a checkpoint near the White House on May 23. He was shot and killed by Secret Service. A bystander was also wounded. President Trump was inside the White House and unharmed. Best had been arrested at another White House checkpoint in July 2025, telling officers at the time that he was Jesus Christ. The Saturday incident is yet another instance of gunfire in Trump’s vicinity.
