President Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after multiple gunshots were heard in the ballroom.
One officer was shot, but he was “saved by the fact that he was wearing obviously a very good bulletproof vest,” Trump later told reporters at the White House.
The suspected shooter was identified later Saturday as Cole Allen of Torrance, California, a former senior law enforcement official briefed on the matter told MS NOW.
I’m betting this was all staged. Either that or Iran is trying to get him.
*Edit: Alternative Idea – what if this was one of his cultists who came to kill off the “fake news” media?



Yes “being skeptical” = “instantly making shit up with little to no facts”
This is one of those cases where I realize people on Lemmy aren’t smarter than the average person. The downvotes can keep on coming because you all haven’t proven shit and your quickness to believe something random just because it’s not been admitted to reflect poorly on you, not me.
Tell the class which one of my points is made up and not real.

So go on.
Tell us which one is made up and is imaginary.
Or are you gonna try and desperately shift your goal posts now.
You and Alex Jones would get along.
Sure buddy.
Seriously. If you’re so sure you’re right about … Literally anything that isn’t proven, you have much in common with him.
Sure buddy.
The Republicans are turning the frogs gay. It’s proven. Admitted even.
