Washington: A white male shot himself dead near the north fence line of the White House, the Secret Service said today.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were in Florida at the time of the incident which took place yesterday when the man, standing in a crowd of more than 100 people near the White House, shot himself.
