A Secret Service uniformed division officer was struck in his vest. He was transported to the hospital and officials say he appears to be in good spirits. Here's Secret Service Director Sean Curran.

When the newly elected Hungarian parliament convenes May 9th, it will be the first time since 1990 that Viktor Orban does not take a seat.
