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?

      LOL, what a goddamn farce.

      Even if the “shooting incident” (which the article you linked itself puts in scare quotes, BTW!) is real, the circumstances are so stupidly convenient half the country isn’t gonna believe it anyway.
