Man Shot Near White House Identified

The man shot by a Secret Service officer outside the White House has been identified.

Myron Basil Berryman, 51 of Wheeling WV, had approached a secret service agent just outside the White House yesterday. He claimed to have a gun and moved towards the agent while making a motion like he was drawing a pistol. The suspect then crouched into a “shooter’s stance” and was then shot in the torso by the officer. 



The incident caused an interruption of a press event inside the White House. Secret Service whisked the President away from the podium and into the Oval Office.
