The Washington Hilton hotel stated on Monday that it had been operating under "stringent" Secret Service protocols when a man breached security and fired rounds from a shotgun inside the hotel on Saturday night. President Donald Trump was attending a dinner at the hotel at the time of the incident, which prompted a major security response and evacuation. The hotel's statement is the first official comment from the venue on the security measures in place during the attack. This incident is part of the ongoing fallout from the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend, which has triggered multiple security reviews.
