US police say the suspected gunman at the White House correspondents’ dinner had multiple weapons on him when he charged a security checkpoint.
Surveillance video released by Donald Trump shows the suspect running past metal detectors as security agents draw their guns.
Washington DC police chief Jeffery W Carroll said officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect and one US secret service officer was « struck in his vest ». He was taken to hospital and is said to be « in good spirits ».
The suspect, who police called a « lone gunman », was not struck by gunfire, but has also been transported to hospital to be evaluated.
