This latest incident follows days after a man allegedly shot himself in front of the White House. Twenty-six-year-old Cameron Ross Burgess, of Maylene, Alabama, died a few hours later. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were not at home when Burgess shot himself. No one else was injured.
