Shots are fired again at a place where the US President is. It is not the first time that Trump’s security forces have had to intervene.
At a White House correspondents’ dinner with US President Donald Trump, a man with several weapons storms into the room and fires shots. Politicians from all political camps reacted, describing the act as “political violence” and condemning the incident.
Donald Trump and other members of the Cabinet present were brought to safety by security forces. They remained unhurt. It is not the first time that the Secret Service has had to intervene; the security forces responsible for the security of current and former presidents even shot and killed two suspected attackers in the past. An overview.
At a campaign appearance in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, Trump was shot during his speech. His right ear was injured, one bystander died and two others were seriously injured. The pictures of Trump’s injured ear went around the world at the time, and Trump appeared combative. The suspected shooter, Matthew Crooks, was killed by security forces at the time. The Secret Service came under pressure at the time.
