The discussion follows a shooting disruption at this year\u2019s White House Correspondents\u2019 Association dinner at the Washington hilton, where a suspect entered the ballroom, gunshots were heard, and Trump-along with other high-profile attendees-was quickly escorted out.<\/p>\n<p>Trump praised the Secret Service\u2019s handling of the incident, and Wiles\u2019s meeting will focus on both what worked to stop the alleged gunman and what additional procedures may improve security for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sheriff-tiger-woods-didnt-get-different-treatment-after-car-crash\/\" title=\"Sheriff: Tiger Woods Didn\u2019t Get \u2018Different Treatment\u2019 After Car Crash\">future events<\/a>. The 31-year-old suspect, Cole Thomas Allen, has been taken into custody and is scheduled for arraignment.<\/p>\n<p>The event also raised questions about venue security, including that attendees reportedly moved through a Secret Service checkpoint without providing identification and some guests said their luggage wasn\u2019t inspected. The article notes parallels to the 1981 attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan at the same hotel location, and it describes how Trump used the incident to argue for a more tightly secured ballroom at the White House.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"8767\">White House<\/a> chief of staff <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/susie-wiles\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11678\">Susie Wiles<\/a> is set to hold a meeting soon on security protocols for events attended by President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> in light of the media dinner shooting over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump and the White House are standing by the leadership of Secret Service, and President Trump has said he personally thinks they did an excellent job neutralizing the shooter and moving the President, First Lady, Vice President and cabinet to safety,\u201d a senior White House official told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> on Monday morning.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4543819\/trump-60-minutes-shooter-manifesto-allegations\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump clashes with 60 Minutes\u2019 Norah O\u2019Donnell over shooter manifesto<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4543512\/terror-at-white-house-correspondents-dinner\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Inside the room: Terror at the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4543412\/trump-strikes-defiant-tone-after-another-shooting-i-cant-be-concerned\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump strikes defiant tone after another shooting: \u2018I can\u2019t be concerned\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>\u201cNevertheless,\u201d the official said, \u201cChief of Staff Susie Wiles is convening a meeting early this week with the White House operations team, USSS, and DHS leadership to discuss protocol and practices for major events involving POTUS.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house-correspondents-dinner\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2432\">White House Correspondents\u2019 Association dinner<\/a>, held at the Washington Hilton hotel this year, was disrupted when a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >suspect rushed past security<\/a>.
