WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) - White ​House chief of staff Susie Wiles will ⁠hold a meeting this week on presidential security after a shooting ​near a gathering of journalists and administration ‌officials in Washington, a senior White House official told Reuters on Monday.

The ⁠official said President Trump ⁠and the White House stand by the leadership of the U.S. Secret Service following the shooting outside ‌the hotel ballroom where the White ⁠House Correspondents' Association ‌dinner was being held.

Wiles ​is expected to meet early this week with leaders of the ‌Secret Service and the ​Homeland Security ⁠department to discuss "protocol and practices" for ‌major events involving ⁠Trump, the senior official said.

The meeting will examine Saturday's security response and ​also look ‌at "everything possible" to keep future events ⁠safe, the official ​added.
