US EditionTrump: ‘Don’t think’ press dinner shooter was linked to Iran war
A suspect was taken into custody after shots were fired, and one Secret Service officer was wounded but protected by a bulletproof vest.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump was evacuated unhurt after shots were fired outside the subterranean ballroom at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, forcing immediate cancellation of the event.
- Security personnel neutralized the threat and apprehended the suspect, who remains in custody, as authorities launched an investigation into whether the act was isolated or politically driven.
- Trump described the suspect as a 'lone wolf' and stated the incident would not deter his Iran war strategy, declaring, 'We have the greatest security in history.'
- White House Correspondents' Association President Weijia Jiang promised, 'We will do this again,' while House Speaker Mike Johnson said he was 'praying for our country tonight.'
- Renewed security scrutiny follows the incident, as Trump noted the Washington Hilton venue was 'not particularly secure,' reflecting on his survival of a 2024 assassination attempt.
