A shooting incident disrupted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC, prompting panic among attendees. US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were swiftly evacuated by Secret Service and confirmed unharmed. A lone suspect, reportedly armed with a shotgun, handgun, and knives, charged a security checkpoint before being subdued and taken into custody. One law enforcement officer was injured but protected by a bulletproof vest. Authorities believe the attacker acted alone, and federal charges are being prepared. The event was cancelled and will be rescheduled, while investigations into the motive continue. (PC:The Guardian)
