Trump says White House shooter 'sick' after dinner attack

US President Donald Trump described the man who shot at him during the White House Correspondents' Dinner as 'sick' after being captured by security. The incident happened earlier today, April 26, 2026, when the shooter charged from 50 yards away during the event.

Trump addressed journalists at the White House, saying the room was very secured and security reacted quickly. He initially thought the noise was from a tray being dropped. 'The man has been captured, and he's a sick person,' Trump stated.

The President confirmed the event will be repeated within 30 days, promising to make it 'bigger and better.' First Lady Melania Trump was seated beside him during the incident.

Global security experts are analyzing the breach of such a high-security event. This incident raises questions about security protocols at major international gatherings and their potential impact on similar events worldwide.
