(Washington, D.C.) An armed man was taken into custody after an incident Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., where President Donald Trump was in attendance, according to authorities. Officials said the man, who was carrying guns and knives, moved through the lobby of the Washington Hilton, where the event was being held, and approached the ballroom before being confronted by United States Secret Service agents. Authorities said shots were fired during the encounter. The president was not injured and was escorted from the stage. Police said the suspect, who they believe acted alone, was a guest at the hotel. He is expected to appear in court today. Officials have not identified an intended target or released a possible motive.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang each scored goals and the three-time Stanley Cup champion teammates are headed back to Pittsburgh after they helped the Penguins avoid a first-round series sweep with a 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 4 on Saturday night.
Game 5 is Monday in Pittsburgh.
“It’s only one,” Crosby said. “But I think it gives us some life. That looked more like our game.”
Rickard Rakell also scored, and Connor Dewar sealed the win with a late empty-netter for the Penguins. Penguins coach Dan Muse made the right call with the season on the line to bench starting goalie Stuart Skinner in favor of Arturs Silovs, who responded with 25 saves.
“I thought he played great,” Muse said. “Big saves. I got a lot of confidence in both guys.”
The 38-year-old Crosby, a career-long foil for the Flyers, not only scored his first goal of the series, but he also set a savvy screen in the third period on defenseman Travis Sanheim that allowed Letang to have a clean look when he ripped his first goal of the series past Dan Vladar for a 3-1 lead.
The goal was crucial after Travis Konecny scored to make it 3-2 and ignite the “Let’s go Flyers!” chants that had largely been dormant with the Flyers down early.
The Penguins received a solid effort from Silovs in the net after Skinner was ineffective with three losses and an .873 save percentage. Silovs, who went 19-12-8 this season, made his 11th career playoff start; the previous 10 came with Vancouver in 2023-24 when it was coached by Rick Tocchet.
Tocchet worked wonders with the Flyers in his first season on the bench and it was his fiery postgame speech after an overtime win in March that sparked an R-rated rallying cry.
The Flyers winked at the unprintable battle cry and gave away Game 4 T-shirts to every fan that read: “Puck Everybody.”
Crosby said, not tonight.
Crosby scored on a one-timer against Vladar only 5 seconds into a power play late in the first period for a 1-0 lead.
Vladar, voted the Bobby Clarke team MVP, stayed in the lineup after he suffered an unspecified arm injury in Game 3. Vladar took off both days of the series break and showed no sign of any physical discomfort.
Vladar, incredulously, let a mental gaffe cost the Flyers a goal only 63 seconds into the second period when he misplayed the puck behind the net. Well out of place, an aggressive Rakell jostled the puck free and poked in an empty-netter for the 2-0 lead for Pittsburgh’s first multigoal lead of the series.
“Nobody’s perfect,” Vladar said.
Denver Barkey deflected Trevor Zegras’ shot past Silvos that cut it to 2-1 with 4:20 left in the second period. Barkey and Zegras are roommates — and jelled just as well as linemates.
They can now mull over what went wrong on the plane ride back to Pittsburgh. The Flyers won three straight games seven times this season but hadn’t won four straight games since February 2024.
“I like the fight back,” Tocchet said. “That’s a good hockey team over there. It’s hard to win every game.”
NHL playoff history is still against Crosby and the Penguins. Only four teams that trailed 3-0 in a seven-game series have come all the way back to win — the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, 1980 New York Islanders, 2010 Philadelphia Flyers and 2014 Los Angeles Kings.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Kyle Harrison collected a career-high 12 strikeouts and allowed just one hit and one walk in six scoreless innings as the Milwaukee Brewers avoided a sweep by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-0 on Sunday.
The Pirates were attempting to complete a sweep in Milwaukee for the first time since winning four straight games here in August 2016. The Pirates’ last sweep of the Brewers came August 2022 at Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh’s only hits were Marcell Ozuna’s single against Harrison (2-1) in the second and Nick Gonzales’ double off Trevor Megill in the seventh. The Pirates struck out 18 times.
Jake Bauers hit two doubles for the Brewers, who snapped a four-game skid.
Milwaukee scored all its runs off Carmen Mlodzinski (1-2) in the fourth inning.
Mlodzinski held Milwaukee hitless until William Contreras capped a 10-pitch at-bat with a leadoff single in the fourth. Contreras advanced to third on Bauers’ ground-rule double and came home when Gary Sánchez bounced out to second.
Milwaukee then got three straight two-out hits to extend its lead to 5-0.
Bauers came home on Luis Rengifo’s single up the middle after Sal Frelick reached on catcher’s interference to keep the inning alive. David Hamilton doubled home Frelick, then Brandon Lockridge singled home Rengifo and Hamilton to knock Mlodzinski out of the game.
Pittsburgh loaded the bases in the eighth with two walks and an error, but Aaron Ashby ended the threat by retiring Bryan Reynolds on a grounder to second.
Milwaukee didn’t hit a homer for a seventh straight game. That represents the Brewers’ longest such drought since August 1999, when they went a franchise-record 13 consecutive games without a home run.
Pirates: Return home for a four-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals. The starting pitchers for Monday’s series opener are St. Louis’ Dustin May (3-2, 5.84 ERA) and Pittsburgh’s Mason Montgomery (1-0, 3.97).
Brewers: Off Monday before starting a three-game home series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Chad Patrick (1-1, 2.35) pitches for Milwaukee on Tuesday. The Diamondbacks haven’t named their starter.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Bryan Reynolds had a go-ahead single in the 10th, Nick Gonzales followed with a two-run single and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3 on Saturday night.
Henry Davis started the 10th at second for the Pirates against Angel Zerpa (0-2). Pinch-hitter Marcell Ozuna walked and Nick Yorke pinch ran for Ozuna. Reynolds singled to left to score Davis and chase Zerpa. Gonzales then hit a sharp single off Grant Anderson to drive in Yorke and Reynolds.
Gregory Soto (2-0) pitched the ninth, and Yohan Ramírez worked the 10th for his first save.
Milwaukee had a chance in the bottom of the eighth against Dennis Santana. Garrett Mitchell laced a two-out double and Sal Frelick was walked intentionally before Greg Jones struck out swinging.
Frelick had a pair of sacrifice flies for Milwaukee, the second off reliever Issac Mattson to tie 3 in the sixth.
Spencer Horwitz’ sacrifice fly in the sixth put the Pirates ahead 3-2. He also drove in a run with a single to center in the fourth. Rookie Konnor Griffin followed with his second hit in the game, a two-out run-scoring single.
The Brewers tied it in the fourth. Jack Bauers led off with a single and took second on left fielder Jack Mangun’s fielding error. Mitchell’s groundout scored Bauers.
Pirates starter Mitch Keller allowed three runs on five hits in five innings.
Brewers starter Jacob Misiorowski struck out nine for the second consecutive game but hit two batters who both scored. He allowed three runs on six hits and threw a wild pitch. The lanky right-hander hasn’t won since beating the Chicago White Sox 14-2 on Opening Day, a span of five starts.
RHP Carmen Mlodzinski (1-1, 3.28 ERA) was scheduled to starts for Pittsburgh on Sunday against LHP Kyle Harrison (1-1, 3.06).
