During the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton, a gunman breached the final security checkpoint and fired four to eight shots at the entrance, wounding a Secret Service officer. The attacker was armed with a shotgun, a pistol and several knives, which he allegedly retrieved from a bag inside the venue. Approximately 2,500 guests were present in the ballroom when the incident occurred, prompting an immediate evacuation and lockdown of the hotel. Law enforcement detained the shooter on the scene and he now faces multiple charges. The motive remains unclear, though investigators note possible mental health issues.
