White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s remark before the White House Correspondents’ dinner has gone viral after a shooting at the venue. Speaking earlier, she said, “There will be some shots fired tonight,” referring to sharp political lines in Donald Trump’s speech. The phrase was used as slang. Minutes later, an armed man opened fire near the event area. One officer was hit in a bulletproof vest and is safe. Trump was escorted out unharmed. He later said the attacker appeared to be a “lone wolf.” The clip spread widely online due to the timing. Authorities said the investigation is ongoing. (PC: India Today)
