The New York Post reports on the White House shooting incident:
A
crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened
fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down
by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service, sources said.
Nasire
Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a
strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He only
got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from
federal officers.
At
least one bystander was hit and seriously wounded in the fusillade, the sources
said.
While
a motive for the attack hasn’t been confirmed, sources said Best is a mentally
troubled individual who was well-known to the Secret Service for repeatedly
loitering around various entry posts and who has violated a previous court
order to stay away from the White House.
