secret service agent took a bullet to the chest.

His vests saved him, and he's already back home.

big names like President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania.

Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and others from the administration and Congress.

No one else got hurt in the scramble.

it down.

cancel life.

charges with a Raymond set for Monday, April 27th.
