Shots fired in front of the White House. A pedestrian was injured in the incident. The whole incident has spread sensation in Washington. However, the attacker died in a shootout with US Secret Service officials. After that, the question arises, was there a conspiracy to kill US President Donald Trump again?
The US Secret Service said in a statement that around 6pm on Saturday, a young man suddenly opened fire in front of a security checkpoint on Pennsylvania Avenue, a stone’s throw from the White House. Officials of the US Secret Service rushed immediately. They also responded in turn. After a long firefight between the two sides, the gunman was seriously injured. He was rescued and admitted to a nearby hospital, where he died. Another pedestrian was injured in the gunfight. According to sources, gunmen fired a total of 12 rounds. The US President was inside the White House at the time of the incident. But he was not harmed. The identity of the accused has already been revealed by the US Secret Service. It is known that his name is Nasir Best. Age 21 years. It is not yet clear what exactly motivated him to attack. Investigation of the incident has started. The area is currently cordoned off by US police and Secret Service officials.
This is the third attack on the US president in the past month. A few days ago, a gunman attacked the White House’s annual dinner at a hotel in Washington. Apart from Trump, 2,600 guests were present. Everyone from journalists to popular actors were invited. After dinner, the President of the United States was scheduled to deliver a speech. Everyone was waiting to hear his speech. But before that, the gunman suddenly shot at the US president in the crowd. Trump was unharmed, though. The accused was immediately arrested.
A few days later, on May 5, another gunman attacked near the White House. However, no casualty was reported in the incident. But it was known that US Vice President JD Vance drove by shortly before the shooting. Speculation then spread, so was Vance the gunman’s target? But this theory was later dismissed by the American police. However, the security of the White House or the US President is being raised due to repeated attacks.
