US EditionTrump Is No Stranger to Assassination Attempts: A Look Back at Past Security Incidents
- On Saturday, April 25, 2026, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Washington Hilton after gunman Cole Tomas Allen attempted to breach the security perimeter.
- This incident follows a series of threats since July 2024, including Matthew Thomas Crooks' Butler, Pennsylvania rally shooting, Ryan Routh's September 2024 Mar-a-Lago breach, and Austin Tucker Martin's armed encounter in February 2026.

- Saturday's shooting marks at least the fifth major breach targeting the president since 2024, representing the third such incident in two years. The recurring threats demonstrate persistent security challenges facing the Secret Service in protecting Trump and administration officials.
