US EditionTrump's security again faces scrutiny after press dinner shooting
A Secret Service agent was shot as hundreds of agents rushed to shield Trump, Vance and cabinet members from a suspect armed with multiple weapons.
- On Saturday night, a gunman opened fire at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, wounding a Secret Service agent and prompting immediate evacuation of President Donald Trump and other officials.
- Washington police reported the alleged gunman, Cole Tomas Allen, was staying at the Washington Hilton and reached a floor above the ballroom armed with a shotgun, handgun, and knives, breaching security despite protocols for roughly 2,600 attendees.
- Secret Service agents quickly rushed Trump and Vice President Vance from the head table, while security details for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent formed human shields to protect them during the evacuation.
- President Trump later described the Washington Hilton as "not particularly a secure building," noting the suspect had not been close to "breaching" the ballroom. The venue was previously the site of a 1981 assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan.
- Coming less than two years after assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign, Saturday's incident raises questions about protection afforded to America's political leaders. Investigators are currently reviewing security gaps that allowed the gunman to access the hotel.
