AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

White House Security Shock: A gunman opened fire near a Secret Service checkpoint outside the White House Saturday evening; Secret Service officers killed the suspect in a shoot-out and a bystander was hit, though officials haven’t said whether the civilian was struck by the gunman or responding fire. Suspect Identified: Multiple outlets identified the attacker as 21-year-old Nasire Best, a Maryland man with prior mental-health issues and repeated run-ins with the Secret Service, including a 2025 arrest tied to claims he was “Jesus Christ” and a “stay-away” order. Ongoing Investigation: Motive remains unclear as the incident triggers another round of scrutiny of security planning and how authorities handle people flagged for dangerous behavior. Maryland Politics: Gov. Wes Moore vetoed a bill aimed at steering at least half of state advertising budgets to Maryland news outlets. Lottery: Maryland Pick 3/Pick 4 and Mega Millions results for May 21–22 were released.
