A Secret Service agent was saved from injury during the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner when a bullet fired at close range was miraculously stopped by his phone and bulletproof vest. The attacker, identified as Cole Allen, fired several shots but only hit the agent once before being detained. Following the incident, President Donald Trump called the shooter a 'pretty sick guy' and described his statements as 'anti-Christian.' The agent was not injured in the attack, which also left President Trump unharmed.
