Bystander injured in shooting near White House pursuing legal claim against Secret Service

Benjamin Del Real, Jr., a 25-year-old Kansas man, is pursuing a legal claim against the Secret Service for alleged negligence. He was injured during a shootout between federal agents and an unrelated armed individual near the White House this spring. His attorneys announced the administrative filing during a Tuesday press conference. Meanwhile, a second White House correspondents’ dinner was held to honor the Secret Service and hotel staff following the shooting incident that occurred in April.
