AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

White House Security Shock: A gunman identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best was killed after firing at a Secret Service checkpoint near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW; officers returned fire, a bystander was shot, and President Trump was inside but “not impacted.” Known to Authorities: Reports say Best had prior run-ins with the Secret Service, including a July 2025 arrest tied to restricted-area access and mental-health claims. Trump’s Response: Trump thanked law enforcement on Truth Social and framed the incident as proof the U.S. needs a “safe and secure space,” echoing his push for major protective infrastructure. Pennsylvania Angle: While today’s Pennsylvania politics news is light, state health officials are also moving on a separate public-safety issue—tracking tick-triggered alpha-gal syndrome, with about 600 cases flagged over two years as awareness and testing expand.
