UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — White House Shooting: President Trump Safe, Suspect Arrested. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 26, shots rang out at the White House Correspondence Dinner Saturday night in Washington, putting President Trump and First Lady Melania right in the line of fire. Secret Service agents rushed them offstage unharmed, along with top officials, after a gunman breached a checkpoint outside the ballroom at the own, Hilton. The suspect, 31-year-old Thomas Allen from Torrance, California, was armed with a shotgun, handgun, and knives. He exchanged fire with officers, got tackled, and arrested on-site. One cop took a hit to his bulletproof vest, but is expected to recover fully. King Charles spoke out, saying he's greatly relieved Trump and Melania are safe, especially with his four-day visit to the U.S. starting tomorrow. Alongside the Queen, palace officials are talking with U.S. teams about whether the attack changes their plans, and the royals reached out privately to show support. Allen faces heavy charges already, including assault on a federal officer, and using a firearm in a violent crime, with possible decades in prison if.
Convicted, officials call him a lone wolf, no motive yet, and they're searching his hotel room since he was a guest there. Security folks deserve props for stopping disaster before it hit the ballroom. As talks wrap on the royal trip, everyone's watching for justice to roll out swift and sure.
