Gunman charges security checkpoint at White House correspondents' dinner

Original: 'Absolute chaos': Gunman charges White House correspondents' dinner checkpoint with Trump inside

Police say a gunman charged a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner while President Trump was inside the venue, prompting a brief lockdown before the suspect was subdued. Witnesses described the scene as 'absolute chaos' as attendees were rushed away from the entrance. The dinner, a fixture of Washington's social and political calendar, resumed after security restored order.

Why now: An armed security breach at a high-profile event with the president present is a major breaking news story.
