The shooting suspect accused of storming the Washington media gala attended by President Donald Trump will be arraigned in the US capital on Monday, the federal prosecutor says.

The suspect — who exchanged gunfire with Secret Service agents but was not shot himself — will appear before a US district judge.

According to US Attorney Jeanine Piro, the suspect will be charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence, and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon.
