Another nutbag takes a dirt nap.
The dead perp:
Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest. He used a revolver and only got off a few shots before he was quickly shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers.
He was repeatedly told to stay away. See how that worked out?
The suspect was taken to the hospital in critical condition. A bystander was also shot.
The gunman never breached the perimeter.
A gunman reportedly opened fire outside the White House Saturday evening, getting off about three shots before he was taken down by a barrage from the Secret Service, sources said.
The gunman fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He used a revolver and only got off a few shots before he was neutralized in a hail of bullets from federal officers, sources told The Post.
A least one bystander were hit in the fusillade and another person was also injured, the sources said. According to multiple reports, the suspect died.
While a motive for the attack hasnโt been confirmed, sources said the shooter is a mentally troubled individual who is known to the Secret Service and has violated a pervious court order to stay away from the White House.
After the sound of numerous shots rang out, members of the press who were filming on the White House grounds were seen diving for cover and were told by Secret Service to gather on the north lawn and to run into the press briefing room.
