President Donald Trump said Best had a violent history and may have been obsessed with the White House. According to reported court filings, Best was arrested in july 2025 after trying to enter a restricted White House area and claiming he wanted to be arrested.The documents also say he previously walked around the complex asking how to gain access, and that he was involuntarily committed for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/attorney-lin-wood-under-investigation-over-whether-he-voted-illegally-in-2020-election-report\/\" title=\"Attorney Lin Wood Under Investigation Over Whether He Voted Illegally In 2020 Election: Report\">mental health evaluation<\/a> in June 2025 after obstructing vehicle entry.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, Best returned to the White House shortly after 6 p.m. Saturday,took a revolver from a bag,and fired at a Secret Service checkpoint. Officers returned fire, and Best was pronounced dead at a D.C. hospital. A bystander was wounded, though it was unclear who shot them. Secret Service leadership said officers responded heroically, noted that no agents were injured, and said the bystander was in serious but stable condition.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The gunman who fired on Secret Service agents Saturday had a history with White House security and had been warned to stay away last July.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump said on <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116627644735216408\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>  that the gunman had \u201ca violent history and possible obsession\u201d with the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Nasire Best, 21, of Dundalk, Maryland, had been arrested last year after trying to gain access to the White House, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/white-house-shooting-suspect-secret-service-court-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2025, a D.C.
