Secret Service agents detained a man who threw a cellphone at President Trump while he addressed the NRA convention in Indianapolis, IN earlier today. From Townhall’s Katie Pavlich:
A man threw a cell phone on stage when President Trump walked out for his @nra speech. He threw it stage left, while POTUS was closer to stage right. The man hung around up front for a few minutes, carrying Mt. Dew, as POTUS started remarks and then Secret Service removed him.

The Secret Service is investigating the incident:
US Secret Service confirms a cell phone landed on stage before President Trump's remarks, but did not indicate if it was thrown or intended to hit Trump. "An individual was removed from the event and the investigation is continuing," the agency says. https://t.co/9mBSqOhmcY
