CCTV footage released by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro shows the exact moment shots were fired during the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington D.C. The footage was made public to counter speculation that the shooting might have been caused by friendly fire.
Speaking to reporters, President Donald Trump stated, "It wasn't friendly fire. It wasn't us." The incident prompted a swift evacuation of the venue, including the president, who was quickly escorted to safety by security personnel.
The suspect, who was armed with multiple weapons, reportedly charged a security checkpoint outside the dining room. Authorities have since taken the individual into custody, and the investigation is ongoing.
