CNN: Secret Service officer shot with a gun released from hospital

Guglielmi did not make public the name of the officer or the hospital he was sent to, but said the ballistic vest the agent wore “helped us avoid a possible tragedy”.

Earlier in the evening, President Donald Trump said he spoke to the officer, telling reporters at the White House: “He is in very good mood, and we told him that we love and respect him. And he's a very proud man. He's very proud of what he does”.

CNN reported earlier that a USSS officer was shot at at dinner and the bullet hit the officer's defense device.
