Trump evacuated after shooting at White House correspondents’ dinner

After Trump and Melania were rushed to safety, the president used his Truth Social account to speak out.

He wrote: “An entire evening of DC Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and courageously. The shooter has been apprehended and I have recommended that we let ‘LET THE SHOW GO ON’, but we will be completely guided by Law Enforcement.”

“They will make a decision soon. Regardless of that decision, the evening will go very differently than planned, and we will simply have to do it again.’

During the press conference, Trump informed the media that the shooter had been arrested.

He said: “He is a sick person, a very sick person, and we don’t want this kind of thing to happen. I told the representatives that evening, and again, they are talking about freedom of speech in our constitution, it was actually based on freedom of speech and our constitution – I said we will do it again in the next thirty days.”

“WE will make it bigger, better and even more beautiful. I would also like to thank the press, the media, for their very responsible reporting.”

In another post, the president revealed that he and Melania immediately left the premises to follow “police protocol.”

Trump said the two, as well as all Cabinet members, are in “perfect condition” after the nightmare and “will be rescheduled within 30 days.”

In addition to Trump and cabinet members, many reporters and TV presenters were also present, including Wolf Blitzer.

Blitzer has claimed that police said they had a shooter in custody and that he had a “large weapon.”

In an interview on CNN, he added: “I was walking outside to go to the men’s room, and as I was walking back into the main room where the event was taking place, I heard gunshots.

‘The next thing I knew the police officer threw me to the ground. They caught the shooter. The sound was so loud. They grabbed me, the police officers, and took me back to the men’s room, where it was safe.

“There were fifteen other men trapped; they wouldn’t let them out. I’m out now. I happened to be a few feet away from the shooter. I was very close to him when the gunshots were fired, and it was very, very scary. I’m okay now.”
