Today, Laura and Paddy talk about another incident where a gunman tried to enter an event attended by US President Donald Trump.

A secret service agent鈥檚 bulletproof vest saved him from more serious injury, after he was shot.

The president was quickly escorted to safety by the Secret Service, but questions have been raised about how he got so close, and about what it means for the King鈥檚 US visit next week.
