President Trump's dinner with journalists, the author shot at one of the Secret Service agents

The bullet hit the agent's defense device and he was taken to a local hospital. His condition was not immediately clear.

Meanwhile, CNN journalist Sara Sidner, who attended this evening's dinner before the president left the scene urgently, said that when the guests first arrived, they were asked to present tickets before passing into the red carpet area.

According to Sidner, the participants were not immediately asked for identification, nor were their bags checked at the entrance.

It takes a while before you reach the metal detectors, before they begin physical control, before checking the bags, for example,” she said. So there will be a lot of security questions here. ”
