BREAKING: Series of gunshots heard near White House
"Many gunshots were heard when we were at the White House. We were told to run into the press briefing room."
Thomas Stevenson
May 23, 2026

A series of gunshots were heard by the White House on Saturday evening, forcing the press to run into the White House press room.

"Many gunshots were heard when we were at the White House. We were told to run into the press briefing room," ABC News' Selina Wang said in a post. Other reports confirmed the shots taking place.

Video from the scene showed reporters ducking to cover as the gunshots were hearing ringing out. The press was told by authorities to take cover in the White House briefing room on the scene. Over a dozen shots were heard in the footage.

Shots were a block away from the complex. Likely some of D.C.'s "indigenous" doing D.C. things and not a direct threat to the White House.

NYP: A crazed gunman who belived he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver  and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was  quckly taken down by a barrage shots from the Secret Service.

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, sources  told The Post. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and  killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers.

At least one bystander was hit and seriously wounded in the fusillade.

Let's see if that cuts down on assassination attempts.

Excerpt:
Another close call at the White House.
Shortly after 6:00 pm on Saturday, 21-year-old Nasir Best approached uniformed Secret Service officers near the White House, pulled out a revolver, and opened fire. The officers returned fire immediately, striking Best and ending the threat. He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead.
A bystander was also hit during the exchange. Their condition has not been released. No officers were injured.
Best had a documented history of mental illness and believed he was Jesus Christ. He was already known to the Secret Service — he had previously violated a court order to stay away from the White House.





Guess we will find out in a couple days if he is in fact Jesus ;)

Three days to be exact!

My question is why the SS or the FBI ignore  videos like this, they could have prevented the shooting!

It's no loss that the shooter is dead. One less black troublemaker in the world.

BUT...
I've seen little mentioned in comments by others about the "passerby" who was shot in the melee. I read at least one post that said that he had died from the wound(s).

Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time...

Reset The “Days Since Last Trump Assassination Attempt” Sign Back To Zero

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog



Another Trump assassination attempt, but this time we can switch the spinner from “Deranged Democrat” to “Complete Nutcase.”

    White House Gunman Identified, Was Known to Secret Service

    A court issued an order barring him from the area. He violated it and kept coming back. The Secret Service kept finding him loitering around the White House.

Chronicle of a death foretold.

    Nasire Best, 21, of Maryland, had been showing up at the White House for nearly a year before Saturday evening, when he pulled out a revolver and opened fire at a security checkpoint. Secret Service officers shot and killed him at the scene. At least one bystander was seriously wounded.

Attempting to shoot your way into the White House with a revolver is pretty crazy on its own.

    The agents who confronted him had seen him before. Court records show he was involuntarily committed in June 2025 after obstructing traffic near 15th Street and E Street NW, just blocks from where he would be killed eleven months later. The following month, he was arrested for unlawful entry after bypassing a restricted pedestrian control post at the White House perimeter. When agents detained him, he told them he was Jesus Christ and that he wanted to be arrested.

Why yes, if there’s one trait we can all agree Jesus displayed it was his love of shooting at people.

I’ve now created a “Lunatics who thought they were Jesus Christ” tag, and I’m going to have to go back and apply to it retroactively that post about Todd Kincannon.

    A court issued an order barring him from the area. He violated it and kept coming back. The Secret Service kept finding him loitering around White House entry posts in the months that followed. No political motive has been established. Best wasn’t a political operative with a manifesto; he was a deeply disturbed young man who kept returning, compulsively, to the same patch of federal ground until the day he arrived armed.

    The shooting lasted seconds. Best fired a few rounds before officers cut him down. Members of the press corps on the White House grounds dove for cover as the shots rang out.
