- 概要
- 枪手持霰弹枪、手枪和刀具射击特工后被制服
- 特朗普称赞特勤局，但提及场地安保存在漏洞
- 目前尚无法断定是否存在执法失误
华盛顿4月26日路透电 — 周六晚间，一名特勤局特工在白宫记者协会晚宴上遭枪击事件，再次引发人们对美国政治领导人在政治暴力加剧时期所受保护措施的质疑。
本次晚宴由唐纳德·特朗普总统担任主宾，多个执法部门的数百名特工负责这场年度活动的安保工作。

然而，一名携带霰弹枪及其他武器的嫌疑人竟得以进入距离华盛顿宴会厅仅一层楼的区域，而该宴会厅内聚集了大批内阁成员、高级议员和名人。

除特朗普外，副总统J·D·万斯、国务卿马可·卢比奥、国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯、司法部长托德·布兰奇、财政部长斯科特·贝森特、内政部长道格·伯古姆以及其他多名政府官员均出席了晚宴，不少人随行配有安保人员。
特朗普称“该建筑安保并不特别到位”
目前尚无法明确断定是否存在执法失误或沟通失误。
但此次周六发生的事件距2024年总统竞选期间针对特朗普的两起暗杀未遂事件不到两年，这表明即便美国最全面的个人安保体系也存在薄弱环节。

华盛顿警察局长表示，涉案枪手携带霰弹枪、手枪和刀具，案发前一直住在举办晚宴的华盛顿希尔顿酒店。
事件发生后，特朗普在即兴举行的白宫新闻发布会上称赞了包括特勤局在内的第一响应人员。
他还谈及担任总统的风险，提到他的一些前任曾遇刺身亡，但补充称嫌疑人并未接近“突破”宴会厅大门。
“这地方的安保并不特别到位，”特朗普在谈及这座距离白宫约10分钟车程的酒店时说道。这里还是1981年时任总统罗纳德·里根遇刺事件的发生地。
尽管约2600名与会者进入地下宴会厅时需通过金属探测器安检，但他们仅需出示门票即可进入酒店本身，而酒店当时也对普通住客开放。由于酒店入口被示威者包围，其中许多人在抗议特朗普政府对伊朗发动的战争，与会者很快便得以通行。
据当局透露，在视频画面中，可以看到枪手冲过走廊上的一处安检点，随后开枪击中一名特工，之后被扑倒并戴上手铐。
宴会厅内，与会者当时还在享用春季豌豆布拉塔沙拉，宴会厅后方的宾客听到了多声枪响。
特勤局特工迅速将特朗普和万斯从长主桌护送撤离，但许多内阁成员和议员的安保人员——他们与记者及其宾客一同坐在宴会厅地面——的反应各不相同。一些特工挤过拥挤的宴会厅，站在椅子上、掀翻餐具以接近受保护对象，而困惑的宾客则躲在桌子底下。
包括卢比奥、贝森特和伯古姆在内的内阁成员安保人员将保护对象按倒在地，组成人盾。大多数受保护对象最终被护送撤离，但撤离时间差异巨大，一些人几乎立刻被迅速带离，而有些人则停留了数分钟。
据白宫官员透露，特朗普曾在2024年竞选活动中险些遇刺，一名潜在刺客的子弹擦过他的耳朵，此次他本人急于重启晚宴活动。他后来告诉记者，特勤局认定继续举办活动已不可能。

WASHINGTON, April 26 (Reuters) – The shooting on Saturday night of a Secret Service agent at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner raises questions yet again about the protection afforded to America’s political leaders at a time of increased political violence.
Hundreds of agents from several law enforcement agencies were tasked with protecting the annual bash, which President Donald Trump headlined this year.

Yet a suspect with a shotgun and other weapons managed to get just a floor above the Washington ballroom where an extraordinary concentration of cabinet members, high-ranking lawmakers and celebrities were dining.

In addition to Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Todd Blanche, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and various other government officials were in attendance, many with their own security details.
‘NOT PARTICULARLY SECURE BUILDING,’ TRUMP SAYS
It is too early to definitively say whether there were any law enforcement failures or miscommunications.
But coming less than two years after a pair of assassination attempts against Trump during the presidential campaign in 2024, Saturday’s incident suggests even the nation’s most comprehensive personal security apparatus has points of vulnerability.

Washington’s police chief said the alleged gunman – who was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and knives – was staying at the Washington Hilton hotel where the dinner took place.
During an impromptu White House press conference after the incident, Trump praised first responders, including the Secret Service.
He also mused about the dangers of being president, noting some of his predecessors had been assassinated, but adding that the suspect had not been close to “breaching” the doors of the ballroom.
“It’s not particularly a secure building,” Trump said of the hotel about a 10-minute drive from the White House. It was also the site of a 1981 assassination attempt against then-President Ronald Reagan.
While the roughly 2,600 attendees were required to pass through metal detectors to enter the basement ballroom, they needed only to show a ticket to enter the hotel itself, which also was open to guests. With the venue’s entrance surrounded by demonstrators, many protesting the Trump administration’s war against Iran, attendees were quickly waved through.
In video footage, the gunman can be seen charging down a hallway past a security checkpoint. He then shot an agent, before being tackled and handcuffed, according to authorities.
Inside the ballroom, attendees were still eating the spring pea and burrata salad when guests toward the back of the room reported hearing multiple gunshots.
Secret Service agents quickly rushed Trump and Vance off the long head table, though the protective agents for many cabinet members and lawmakers – seated on the floor with the journalists and their guests – reacted in different fashions. Some agents clambered through the packed ballroom, standing on chairs and overturning tableware to reach protectees, while bewildered guests ducked under tables.
Security details for cabinet members, including Rubio, Bessent and Burgum, pushed their protectees to the ground and formed human shields. Most protectees were eventually ushered out, though the timing of their removals varied significantly, with some being spirited out almost immediately and some staying put for minutes.
Trump, who narrowly escaped death in 2024 when a would-be assassin’s bullet skimmed his ear during a campaign stop, was for his part eager to restart the festivities, White House officials said.
He later told journalists the Secret Service determined that continuing the event would be impossible.
