"Jones remarked on the necessity of securing events outside of the ballroom, emphasizing that not all events attended by the president or cabinet members are government events."
"In the aftermath of the shooting, many attendees criticized the quality of security, with Jones noting that even the shooter was surprised by how lax it was."
