Cameron Ross Burgess of Alabama has been identified as the man who killed himself near the White House on Saturday, Secret Service officials said.
Burgess, 26, lived in Maylene in Shelby County. Burgess allegedly shot himself Saturday around 11:46 a.m. as he stood near the fence at the north side of the White House. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were in Florida at the time of the incident; the president has been briefed on the shooting.
Bugess was a 2013 graduate of Auburn University, according to a spokesperson with the university. He was a 2009 graduate of Thompson High School in Alabaster and also lived in Birmingham.
The White House was placed on lockdown in the wake of the incident.
Burgess' name was initially withheld pending notification of next of kin, law enforcement officials said. A motive behind the suicide has not been released.
Burgess reportedly shot himself amid a crowd of more than 100 people who fled after the gunfire. His car, a Honda Accord with Alabama license plates, was parked near the Capital Hilton Hotel and was searched after the shooting.
None of the shots were aimed at the White House and no one else was injured, according to Capitol Police.
It will be interesting to see what the motive behind this was. Says he shot himself amid 100 people. Also, I show Maylene, Alabama is an 11 hr and 58 min drive.
