An eyewitness to the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ dinner said that he does not believe that it was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. On Saturday, 25 April, a suspected gunman attempted to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel at 8:30 p.m., with shots fired before he was apprehended by the Secret Service. Hundreds of reporters, gathered for the annual dinner, ducked for cover. The Independent White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg captured the moment panic gripped the ballroom at the Washington Hilton as agents tackled a gunman outside. 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. Speaking to Sky News, eyewitness David Reynolds described the panic and stated that he believes the shooting was an “attempted assassination of Americans”, rather than a targeted attack on the US president.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the suspect traveled to the gala in Washington from Los Angeles.
