US Presidential Security Strengthening Under Discussion
A shooter who opened fire during a dinner is accused of attempting to kill Donald Trump. One Secret Service agent was hit during the attempt but is expected to make a full recovery. The suspect's manifesto described the act as an altruistic sacrifice to protect the country. The 31-year-old suspect, a mechanical engineer and teacher, traveled from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. via Chicago before the attack. A document detailing plans to target the president and administration officials was reportedly sent to the suspect's family on Saturday. Witnesses reported hearing the sound of clanging glass and Secret Service agents jumping over chairs during the attack at the Washington D.C. The sudden silence was followed by the sound of agents running toward the front of the stage. A correspondent reported hearing popping sounds in the background during the event, which may have been gunshots.
