US President Donald Trump had arrived on Saturday night to participate in the dinner program of the White House Correspondents Association. This program was being organized in a part of Hotel Hilton in Washington DC. Meanwhile, a person opened fire near the security point and there was chaos in the entire program.
Secret Service took charge
The Secret Service immediately took charge and took President Trump out of Hotel Hilton safely and took him to a high security car, from where he was taken to the White House. President Trump, America’s First Lady, Vice President JD Vance and other senior leaders and officials are completely safe. During this attack, a Secret Service officer was also shot, who is currently out of danger.
Who was the attacker?
The attacker, Call Thomas Allen, is a resident of California, USA and this 31 year old attacker is said to be a teacher by profession. Who has been immediately arrested by the Secret Service and will be presented in the court soon. FBI and other investigating agencies are investigating the case from every angle. American intelligence agency CIA is also investigating this matter. Efforts are being made to find out what was the real motive of this attacker? After all, how did the attacker reach the high security zone and who provided him with state-of-the-art weapons?
Foreign connections also investigated
An attempt has been made to attack Trump amid the Iran War, so questions are also being raised whether the attacker has any foreign connection? Earlier, during the US presidential election campaign, Trump was attacked on July 13, 2024. During that time, the bullet had passed near Trump’s ear. This became a big issue during the elections. Iran was being blamed for this attack.

Subsequently, in September 2024, a man was arrested with a rifle near the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. It was believed that he was planning an attack on Trump. The latest incident is of April 25, 2026, when Trump attended a dinner ceremony of journalists. This time the attacker was successful in entering the hotel and opened fire.
Question on major security lapse
Overall, the security of the President of America is so tight that even a bird cannot be killed. But despite such tight security, if the attacker came so close to Trump, then it can definitely be called a major security lapse. But the Secret Service once again proved how diligently they protect the President of America.
