The shooting happened shortly after 6 p.m. when a male approached the Secret Service checkpoint at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, pulled a gun from a bag and opened fire on officers, the Secret Service said in a statement. The officers returned fire and shot the suspect, who was taken to a hospital, where he later died, the Secret Service said. The suspect was identified as 21-year-old Nasire Best of Dundalk, Maryland, the Metropolitan Police Department said Sunday. A bystander was also shot, the Secret Service said Saturday.
