US President Donald Trump on Sunday said the suspect behind the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner shooting was “heavily armed” and had charged a security checkpoint with multiple weapons before opening fire at a Secret Service agent, triggering a major security scare at the high-profile event. The incident unfolded outside the ballroom at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night, where Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance and senior cabinet officials were attending the annual dinner.
