Trump Evacuated Unharmed from White House Correspondents' Dinner Following Assassination Attempt
The gunman, who has been detained, entered the hotel where the dinner was being held and opened fire in the lobby.
Trump explained during a press conference that the attacker was a "madman" and a "lone wolf."
U.S. President Donald Trump was evacuated this Saturday from the traditional White House Correspondents' Dinner after an armed man—who has since been intercepted and detained—attempted to enter the event. Trump was unharmed. The hundreds of attendees, which included the top brass of the government, also had to be evacuated.
Trump later explained in a press conference at the White House that the attacker was a "madman" and a "lone wolf" who failed to breach the security perimeter where the President was dining alongside First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and hundreds of journalists and members of the Washington political scene.
