The confrontation resulted in one Secret Service agent being shot at very close range.
President Trump praised the agent’s resilience, noting that although the weapon used was powerful, the agent’s bulletproof vest saved his life. The injured officer was transported to a local hospital and is reported to be in stable condition. Following the shooting, Trump publicly condemned the attacker as a “sick” individual and commended the law enforcement teams for their “fantastic job” in responding to the crisis with speed and professionalism.
