GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A Florida man’s apartment sat untouched by investigators days after he fatally shot himself at the White House, and roommates also say they hadn’t even known he had died.

Police say Cameron Ross Burgess fired multiple shots outside the White House on Saturday before turning the gun on himself in front of dozens of onlookers. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were in Florida at the time.

On Tuesday, an open, empty handgun case sat on Burgess’ unmade bed at the Gainesville, Florida, apartment he shared with two others. There were nine rounds still in the gun case.

Justin Ford was distraught when told of his roommate’s death by an Associated Press reporter, saying he had been texting Burgess for days with no answer and hadn’t heard reports of the shooting outside the White House.
