Saed News: An armed attack on the White House ended with the death of the attacker. The armed individual had severe psychological problems and had previously been issued a restraining order preventing him from approaching the White House.
According to SAEDNEWS, earlier today an armed man approached Gate No. 17 of the White House and fired three shots toward the building. Secret Service agents responded with gunfire and neutralized him. One bullet also struck a civilian during the exchange of fire.
Officials say the suspect never entered the inner perimeter of the White House. At the time of the attack, Trump was not in the White House.
The attacker was a 21-year-old man named “Nasirbest,” who reportedly suffered from severe mental health issues and had previously been issued a restraining order banning him from approaching the White House. Reports indicate he suffered from delusions and believed himself to be Jesus Christ.
Shortly after 6 p.m. on Saturday, an individual in the area of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue pulled a firearm from his bag and began shooting.
Secret Service police returned fire and struck the suspect. He was transported to a hospital in the area, where he was later pronounced dead. During the shooting, a bystander was also injured by a bullet.
None of the officers were injured, and the President was inside the White House at the time of the incident, but no protected individuals or security operations were affected.
The investigation is ongoing, and further information will be released as it becomes available.
