NBC Reporter Ridiculed for Her Reaction on Air to White House Shooting
A bystander was critically injured and officers returned fire after the suspect opened fire at a White House checkpoint, Secret Service said.
- On Saturday, Nasire Best, 21, died after opening fire at a White House security checkpoint near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. The US Secret Service returned fire, killing the suspect who "pulled a weapon from his bag and began firing at posted officers."
- This incident marks the third shooting near the White House in the last month; President Donald Trump, who was inside the White House during Saturday's shooting, remained safe. Best was previously arrested last summer while attempting to access a different security checkpoint.
- NBC News reporter Julie Tsirkin was preparing to film a segment on Saturday when gunfire erupted nearby, and her confused reaction went viral on social media. She turned to her cameraman and asked, "What is that?" as shots rang out.
- No Secret Service officers were injured during the engagement. In a post on Truth Social, Trump thanked law enforcement for their "swift and professional action" and said the suspect had a "violent history."
- Last November, a gunman ambushed two members of the West Virginia National Guard near this same location, killing Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding Andrew Wolfe. Rahmanullah Lakanwal has been charged in that incident.
