Donald Trump said he “didn’t make it any easier” for Secret Service agents as they rushed him to safety when gunshots were fired during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday (25 April). Speaking to CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell on 60 Minutes after the shooting, the US president said: “I wanted to see what was happening, and I wasn't making it that easy for him. I wanted to see what was going on... I probably made them act a little bit more slowly.” A suspected gunman attempted to storm the annual dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel at 8:30 p.m., with shots fired before he was apprehended by the Secret Service. The suspected shooter has been identified as 31-year-old California man Cole Tomas Allen. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has said that investigators believe Allen was targeting members of the Trump administration.
