Trump, seated next to first lady Melania Trump, was quickly surrounded by Secret Service agents, while many attendees ducked under their tables.

President Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after multiple gunshots were heard in the ballroom.

One officer was shot, but he was “saved by the fact that he was wearing obviously a very good bulletproof vest,” Trump later told reporters at the White House.

The suspected shooter was identified later Saturday as Cole Allen of Torrance, California, a former senior law enforcement official briefed on the matter told MS NOW.

I’m betting this was all staged. Either that or Iran is trying to get him.

*Edit: Alternative Idea – what if this was one of his cultists who came to kill off the “fake news” media?

      There is. I’m not in a place where i can dig it up at the moment but it should be easy to find, a source without the video is further down in another one of my posts.

      Apparently sometime afterwards she posted on social media about how it was totally about having to be careful in general and blah blah blah bullshit.
