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?

      The nation state does defense rather than offense with its regular military forces, but that isn’t the only way to attack an opponent. I mean, Bin Laden couldn’t sink an aircraft carrier. Yet, he still managed to attack America’s homeland.

        Bin Laden was Sunni, not Shia. Shia follow the Quaran directives about war. Eta: at least Iranian Shia.
