Protective methodologies successfully secured President Trump following a security threat. The gunman is currently in custody, though a motive has not been established.

The assailant was arrested before entering the dining hall where the event was taking place.

Investigators are looking into reports that a man armed with a shotgun, a pistol, and knives was present in a hotel at the same time as the US President.
