A Department of Justice filing described Saturday's shooting on Pennsylvania Avenue as another attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, as the administration again urged a federal judge to drop his injunction against the White House ballroom, APA reports.
The Secret Service said officers shot and killed an armed man who opened fire at a White House checkpoint Saturday evening.
A bystander was also struck by gunfire in the incident, but it was not immediately clear how, the Secret Service said.
The suspect was identified as Nasire Best, 21, of Dundalk, Maryland, according to Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department.
The DOJ's Sunday night filing says an attacker "once again sought to murder the President, his family, and his staff," when he approached a Secret Service checkpoint Saturday, "professionally pulled a high caliber gun from a bag, and opened fire in the exact direction of the White House."
