Trump, officials evacuated following security breach at White House correspondents' dinner
WASHINGTON - A US Secret Service agent was shot in protective gear on Saturday at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and has been hospitalized, US media reported.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump shared a photo of the suspected gunman, who appears to have been subdued, with his hands bound behind his back and lying face down on the ground.
In a press conference at the White House late Saturday evening, Trump said that the alleged shooter lives in the state of California and law enforcement agents went to his apartment.
When asked by a reporter whether the shooter acted alone, Trump said that "they seem to think he was a lone wolf, and I feel that too."
In response to a question about whether this shooting could have been linked to the war in Iran, Trump said, "I don't think so. But you never know."
"Quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended," Trump said in an earlier post on Truth Social shortly after the incident.
