On April 26th, a gunman crashed a high-profile dinner in Washington last night, where President Trump was the keynote speaker at the White House. Correspondence Association event, Secret Service agent's rushed Trump, the first lady, and top officials out safely after the suspect fired shots. One officer took a bullet, but his vest saved him, and no one else got hurt. The attacker, a 31-year-old from Torrance, California, named Cole to Moss Allen, carried a shotgun and handgun. He was staying at the hotel, hosting the dinner, and got taken down quick at a security checkpoint before reaching the main ballroom. Trump called him a lone wolf type, and praised the agents for their fast work. Across the pond, U.K. Prime Minister Kierstarmer fired off a message of solidarity to the president, slamming any threat to democracy or the press. He noted relief that everyone stayed safe. Folks in Britain are eyeing this close, especially with King Charles heading to the U.S. soon for his state visit. Cabinet Minister Darren Jones stressed on TV that security for the King is top priority,

with teams already deep in talks to lock it down tight. No changes announced yet, but they're ramping up just in case after these wild scenes. Trump plans to reschedule the dinner soon, saying the chaos actually brought people together from all sides. With the King's trip locked in, expect even tighter protocols to keep things smooth on the state side.
