Description
United States President Donald Trump spoke to reporters at the White House after he and other top leaders of the United States were evacuated from an annual dinner of White House correspondents on Saturday night after a shooting incident outside the ballroom where the event was taking place.
The shooting suspect was identified as a man from California whom Trump called a "very sick person,," and later a "lone wolf whack-job."
He also said the suspect was armed with multiple weapons before being stopped by the Secret Service. One officer was shot, but he was protected by a bulletproof vest.
“He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun, and the vest did the job,” Trump said.
The shooting suspect was identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, Calif., two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
