Armed Man Breached Correspondents Dinner Security Despite Advance Screening

A Torrance, California engineer approached a Secret Service checkpoint at Saturday's White House Correspondents Dinner carrying a shotgun, handgun, and multiple knives. Agents intercepted him before reaching the main venue and evacuated President Trump and Vice President Vance. One agent was shot but protected by body armor. The breach raises questions about perimeter and pre-event screening effectiveness at high-profile political gatherings.
