President Donald Trump shared on Truth Social a photo and video footage of a shooter's attempt to barrel past a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The video, shared shortly before a hastily convened press conference at the White House on Saturday evening, shows a blur of a man running past law enforcement officers standing near magnetometers at the Washington Hilton.
Incident Details
One law enforcement officer was shot during the incident but was wearing a bulletproof vest. 'The vest did the job. I just spoke to the officer and he's doing great, great shape,' Trump said at the press conference.
Ongoing Investigation
This is a developing story. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the security breach. The White House Correspondents' Association has yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
President Trump praised the quick response of security personnel and emphasized the importance of safety at public events. The officer, whose identity has not been disclosed, is recovering and in good condition.
