Summary
Shots rang out at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — and within 24 hours, the story spiraled into something much bigger. A gunman breached security and got dangerously close to the ballroom where Donald Trump and journalists were gathered, triggering chaos, evacuation, and a major security response. Then came the media aftermath. In a tense interview on 60 Minutes, Trump lashed out after being confronted with excerpts from the suspect’s manifesto — including accusations he angrily denied on air. At the same time, he claimed he “wasn’t worried” during the shooting, even as Secret Service rushed him to safety. Meanwhile: Trump is pushing for a more secure presidential ballroom after the incident Media coverage is already fracturing along familiar lines Political narratives are hardening almost instantly So what actually happened — and how did it turn into another culture war flashpoint overnight?
