Washington, April 26 /Xinhua/ — On Saturday, at a dinner for White House correspondents, a US Secret Service agent, who was wearing protective gear, was wounded and is currently hospitalized. This was reported by the American media.
In his post on the social network Truth Social, D. Trump published a photo of an alleged shooter who, apparently, was neutralized: his hands are tied behind his back, and he is lying face down on the ground.
The suspected shooter lives in the state of California. Law enforcement officers arrived at his apartment, D. Trump said at a press conference at the White House late Saturday evening.
According to the president, law enforcement agencies believe that the shooter acted alone. After the incident, everyone left the building in accordance with the protocol, “the First Lady, the Vice President, and all members of the Cabinet are in excellent condition.” The Mayor of Washington, Muriel Bowser, said at a press conference that all guests at the dinner are safe.
The police reported that the suspect, whom American SMIs named Koulo Allen, 31 years old, from the city of Torrance, California, was armed with a shotgun, a pistol, and several knives.
In recent years in the USA, there have often been cases of political violence. D. Trump became the target of numerous assassination attempts and threats both during his presidential campaign and after becoming president.
The most vivid example is the assassination attempt in July 2024 in Butler, Pennsylvania, which D. Trump barely survived during the election campaign. –0–
