A man armed with a weapon reportedly attempted an attack in the ballroom of the Hilton Hotel. A 31-year-old teacher from California was arrested during a press dinner in Washington, DC, after allegedly attempting to target Trump administration officials.

The FBI, Secret Service, and Metropolitan Police Department are investigating the incident, which currently appears to be the work of a lone actor. The suspect was last seen in a suburb of Los Angeles according to US media reports. The gunman involved in the attempt to attack Donald Trump is now in custody and reportedly not seriously wounded. The shooting occurred specifically during a traditional press dinner with government members involving Donald and Melania Trump. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić labeled the shooting at the Washington Hilton as an embodiment of cowardice that undermines state stability. Donald Trump and other members of the US government were moved from the VIP tribune to a secure location following the incident. The suspect is identified as 31-year-old Kultumo Salin, who used a shotgun, pistol, and knives during the attack.
