A suspect who shot at a White House checkpoint was killed in an exchange of fire with Secret Service agents on Saturday evening, officials have confirmed.

The BBC’s US media partner CBS has named the suspect as Nasire Best, a 21-year-old man who was known to the protection agency and had a documented history of mental health conditions.

    Another staged event for the sick lazy pedo using the pathetic gun laws and the piss poor healthcare system in the USA. Best should be in a hospital and not roaming the streets with a firearm.

      These events have become rather common, I can think of at least five since Trump’s term began.

      They get less press than Trump posting a pooping meme… so, what’s the motivation for the staging? A paragraph at HuffPo?

        An attempt to win sympathy and enforce more draconian laws. Altona Bloody Sunday was conducted by the Nazis in 1932.
