The annual White House Correspondence Dinner was interrupted by a would be shooter.

A law enforcement officer was shot in his vest but he'll be fine. Nobody else was shot or hurt.

Don't know how far the 31-year-old gunman from California expected to get &/or who were his targets. Since he's still alive maybe a debrief will provide more details.

They claim POTUS OJ wanted to return & finish the dinner event. Secret Service felt otherwise.

An alternate dinmer will be scheduled for a later date. Surely, security will be on another level.

The nation's 250th birthday celebration events will bring a ridiculous amount of security too.😎

Nobody on social media is taking this assassination threat seriously. Too much about it seems staged, including Trump's news conference.

I've never been into conspiracy theories... but I'm very suspicious about this latest occurrence. I don't put anything pass the sinister well organized Project 2025 American Heritage Foundation.

This latest gunman is a "brotha" and that's a plus for these right wing Retrumpicans, hoping that will lure more racists into their base.

It is interesting the politicians condemn violence stateside while killing people in Iran & Lebanon.

True. From POTUS OJ promoting the high-security ballroom being built on the East Wing of the White House to having so much information about the gunman immediately.

Right. A Caltech grad with a BS degree in Engineering & a Master's degree doesn't seem like someone stupid enough to try this stunt.

Something doesn't add up about this situation but that won't stop these folks from spinning it to the benefit of the current administration & anything they come up with to justify tighter surveillance & control over certain groups of people.😎

With the way the "information" is disseminated today conspiracy theories are completely understandable. With all the trash being generated no one really know what to believe. so folks "do their own research" and come up with whatever makes sense to them.

Of course with seemingly no floor to what the current administration is willing sink to why wouldn;t someone believe they are capable to staging another assassination attempt.

Speaking of the Nation's birthday, the 200th celebration, 1976, seemed to elicit have a lot more patriotism. The 250th not so much...

Hey, sweet thing. Why you wanna waste all your credentials and potential and ruin your life by getting mixed up in some Trump shit??
