The Secret Service issued a brief statement confirming the incident: “At approximately 11:55 PM, an armed individual fired shots at President Donald Trump as he exited the White House.
The suspect was neutralized by Secret Service personnel, and the president was immediately transported to a medical facility for evaluation and treatment. The incident is under investigation by federal authorities.”
This marks the second time President Trump has been targeted in an assassination attempt, following a harrowing incident on July 13, 2024, when he was shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
