WASHINGTON — The White House was briefly locked down on Saturday evening after gunfire erupted nearby, injuring at least two people, according to four law enforcement officials briefed on the matter.
One person is in grave condition, the officials said.
One of the individuals is believed to be a suspect, but it isn’t clear if the second person is also a suspect or a bystander, the officials said.
The investigation shows that the U.S. Secret Service engaged with the suspect and fired at the person, according to two senior officials briefed on the matter.
Those officials say that at this early juncture there doesn’t appear to be any injuries to Secret Service agents.
The Secret Service said on X it was aware of reports of shots fired near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW and is “working to corroborate the information with personnel on the ground.”
An NBC News team at the White House heard between 20 and 30 gunshots around 6:04 p.m., and Secret Service agents urged reporters who were gathered outside on the North Lawn to run inside the press briefing room.
The Secret Service was posted just outside the room with guns drawn as the White House went into lockdown.
The lockdown, which included the White House grounds, was lifted at 6:46 p.m.
FBI Director Kash Patel said on X that the FBI is on the scene and supporting the Secret Service.
President Donald Trump is in the White House. Vice President JD Vance was confirmed to be at the White House earlier today, but it is unclear if he is still there or if he had left prior to the incident.
The U.S. Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for information on the situation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who opened fire Saturday near a White House security checkpoint is dead after being shot by officers who returned fire, the U.S. Secret Service said. It was the third incidence of gunfire in the vicinity of President Donald Trump in the past month.
The law enforcement agency said in a statement posted on X that the man was in the area of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue when he “pulled a weapon from his bag” shortly after 6 p.m. EDT and began firing. Secret Service officers returned fire and hit the suspect, who died at a hospital, the agency said.
The suspect was identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best, said a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation.
According to District of Columbia court records, Best was arrested in July 2025 after he attempted to enter a different White House checkpoint without authorization, didn’t heed officers’ commands to stop, “claimed he was Jesus Christ” and said he wanted to be arrested.
An initial hearing was held and a “Pretrial Stay Away Order” was issued, typically a measure ordering a defendant not to go near a person or area before a trial. A bench warrant was issued in August after a notice of “noncompliance” against Best, who did appear for a subsequent hearing.

It was the third time in the past month that shots were fired near the president after incidents at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in April and near the Washington Monument earlier in May.
A bystander was also struck on Saturday, but a law enforcement official said it wasn’t clear whether that person was hit by the suspect’s initial bullets or those fired subsequently by officers.
Secret Service said none of its officers were injured, and that Trump — who was at the White House at the time — was not “impacted.” Trump originally was scheduled to spend the weekend at his New Jersey golf club but changed his plans on Friday to stay at the White House instead.
FBI Director Kash Patel said on social media that agency personnel were on the scene and “we will update the public as we’re able.”
Evidence of the shooting was visible on a sidewalk just outside the White House complex, where yellow crime scene tape snaked across the pavement and Secret Service officers placed dozens of orange evidence markers on the ground. Medical material, including what appeared to be purple surgical gloves and kits typically used by emergency medical personnel, were also seen.

Gunshots heard by journalists at the White House
Journalists working at the White House on Saturday evening reported hearing a series of gunshots and were told to seek shelter inside the press briefing room.
In a post shared on X, ABC News senior White House correspondent Selina Wang shared dramatic video of the moment she said she heard what “sounded like dozens of gunshots” and ducked for cover. Writing that she had been performing a routine task that White House reporters do daily — filming themselves on a cellphone for a social media post — Wang’s video shows her speaking for a few seconds about Trump’s statements earlier Saturday about a potential Iran deal.
As the sounds of gunfire are heard in the background, Wang’s eyes grow wider, and she ducks down in the media tent, which is among those situated in a line along the White House driveway where broadcasters film their reports. On X, Wang’s video had been shared thousands of times as of Saturday evening, and viewed at least 3 million times.

Shooting scene not far from a deadly incident last year
The shooting scene is within walking distance of where a gunman ambushed two members of the West Virginia National Guard last November.
U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died from the wounds she suffered in that shooting. Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, then 24, was critically wounded. Rahmanullah Lakanwal has been charged in that incident.
The gunfire Saturday came nearly a month after what law enforcement authorities said was an attempted assassination of the president as he attended the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner at a Washington hotel on April 25. Cole Tomas Allen, of Torrance, California, recently pleaded not guilty to charges that he attempted to kill Trump. Allen is accused of running through a security checkpoint inside the hotel and firing a shotgun at a Secret Service officer.
Following that scare, Secret Service officers shot a suspect they said had fired at officers near the Washington Monument, several blocks from the White House. Michael Marx, 45, of Midland, Texas, was charged in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in connection with the May 4 shooting. A teenage bystander was wounded in that incident.

Accusing someone of committing treason and actually charging them with treason are two different things.
Obama used the 1917 Espionage Act to crucify confidential sources and members of his own staff.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fox-news-reporter-secretly-monitored-by-o bama-administration-court-documents /
(CBS News) Court documents released this week show the Obama administration secretly monitored a Washington journalist. In seeking a search warrant, the FBI called Fox News' James Rosen a "criminal co-conspirator," even though he isn't charged with any crime.
These revelations have set off a firestorm of criticism from the left and right, CBS News' Jan Crawford reports. For the first time ever, a presidential administration is treating news reporting like a crime, and a reporter like a criminal suspect.
Rosen vowed on Wednesday night to protect his source for a scoop he got back in 2009, reporting then that North Korea would respond to sanctions with more nuclear tests.
But the information was classified, and the FBI launched an investigation to uncover Rosen's source that quickly focused on Rosen himself.
The level of government surveillance of a reporter was unprecedented. Agents monitored Rosen's movements in and out of the State Department. They searched his personal emails and combed through his cell phone records.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has deflected questions on the case. CBS News' Major Garrett asked Carney on May 20, "The subpoena says James Rosen is a potential criminal because he's a reporter. Is the White House comfortable with that standard never before seen in a leak investigation?"
Carney said, "It's part of an ongoing criminal investigation, Major, and I simply can't comment on it."
But the investigation into Rosen has sparked a rare thing in Washington: bipartisan outrage over what some are calling "Obama's war on journalism."
Just last week, the Justice Department came under fire for seizing two months of phone records from the Associated Press -- action the president defended on national security grounds.

Trump did not execute any journalists.
He made accusations targeting journalists, but so did prior presidents.
How did Barack Obama justify targeting Fox News journalists?
>>1516676
Obama's DoJ treated James Rosen like he was a traitor. They didn't respect his 4th amendment rights when they searched through all his personal documents.

>Obama's DoJ treated James Rosen like he was a traitor. They didn't respect his 4th amendment rights when they searched through all his personal documents.
How is being investigated the same as treating someone like have committed treason? Those are 2 different things.
It's not a violation of his 4th amendment rights, because they had a search warrant. It literally says they had a search warrant in the post you quoted.

>How did Barack Obama justify targeting Fox News journalists?
The justification he gave for the investigation was in the news article you quoted. He shared classified information about north korea.
Now answer the question you were asked.
How does obama's actions justify trump accusing people of treason for merely criticizing him? How does obama's actions justify trump wanting to execute people for criticizing him?

This is kind of hilarious. When that same US military tells you they sunk boats with drugs on them, you retards sperg out "REEEEEE THEY WUZ FISHERMEN N SHIET YOU HAVE NO PROOF THEY HAD DRUGS WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE' - but when that same US military tells you they may (or may not) have killed someone, and the story is pushed by some far-left rag, THEN... and only then do you believe the US military.

Whats the issue?
There's a difference between confessing to a crime and accusing someone else of committing a crime. A confession is evidence. But the latter is just an allegation in the case of the alleged drug boats.

before someone tries to play semantics, Trump did issue the pardon by the way, this wasn't just planned then cancelled or shelved.
