Earlier, during the White House Correspondent Dinner in a hotel in Washington, a person crossed the security check point and entered inside. Not only this, he allegedly fired at a Secret Service agent from very close range. During this, the agent got shot in the chest. But because of the bulletproof jacket, his life was narrowly saved.
