A suspect who shot at a White House checkpoint was killed in an exchange of fire with Secret Service agents on Saturday evening, officials have confirmed.

The BBC’s US media partner CBS has named the suspect as Nasire Best, a 21-year-old man who was known to the protection agency and had a documented history of mental health conditions.

    Aw hell no. There is no way that Pumpkinhead should be martyred.

    Assuming this was a real threat, they are definitely not helping in any way. Ideally, he’s removed from office and the Democrats win the midterms. Second best is having him serve out his term as a cucked lame duck after the midterms. If he is incapacitated due to his dementia or gets a hamburger from heaven that’s a far distant third best outcome. Still not great on that last one, since you just know the right will try to rehab the image of the Pumpkinhead.
