A third attempt on Trump’s life?

On Saturday night, as U.S. President Donald Trump sat on a dais in front of a room full of journalists, gunshots were heard inside the building. An armed man was taken down by Secret Service members, and the President was evacuated, unharmed. Paul Hunter was there, and describes what happened in that room, and what to make of what may be the third attempt on Trump’s life.
