Trump Labels White House Dinner Shooting ‘Very Sad’ and Demands Secure Ballroom

President Trump said he and the First Lady are both fine after a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. He described the night as “a very sad evening” but highlighted the unity shown by guests in its aftermath. He noted that Democrats leaving the Hilton offered words of support. Trump called it heartening to see people come together under such circumstances. He used the incident to renew his push for a new 90,000-square-foot ballroom on White House grounds. He said the facility would feature bulletproof glass, drone-proof design, and full perimeter security. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN that Secret Service agents quickly subdued the suspect after shots were fired at the outer perimeter. Federal charges are expected as investigators seek to determine the motive.
