POLITE SOCIETY

Took place in the hotel but outside the ballroom where everyone is gathered tonight.

Suspect is now in custody.

Shots, perhaps 6, likely fired from the lighting box above the door in the lobby.

When shots were fired, everyone ducked under their tables. President and First Lady were evacuated.

New report says Trump will return and the event will go on. Conflicting report was incorrect. Apparently they are still deciding when to restart.

Quote:WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT WHCD;

Trump was introduced with First Lady 15 mins ish ago

Five or so mins after he was seated shots range out: POP POP POP POP. Sounds like five to me where I’m sitting.

Everyone immediately hit the floor.

Secret Service immediately took POTUS out and a search of the room began.

There are thousands of people here.

This is now being reported by some as the third attempted assassination attempt on President Trump.

Frightening. I hope everyone is safe and unharmed.

The lighting box from which the shooter reportedly fired was supposedly in the lobby, NOT in the ballroom.

Took that down.

Report now that Trump will not return tonight.

EDIT: Event will now continue. Unclear if Trump will return.

Before the dinner:

Glad to read the event will continue, per Fox, although I do not blame attendees for leaving. I surmise Trump wants to return, but for the safety of others he may be told to stay away.

The video I watched, you heard the shots, but no one was thinking it was anything. The a few seconds later they evacuated the President and had all duck.

Event cancelled

How was that even allowed to happen?

Night has now officially been cancelled. Will be rescheduled at a later date.

Trump will hold a presser at the WH in about 30 minutes or so.

Event will be rescheduled within 30 days.

Wolf Blitzer was 5 feet from the shooter and said the shooter was in the secure area and he started hearing the shooting and a police officer took Blitzer down and stayed on top of him until the shooting stopped. Blitzer was all red in the face. Probably needs to go home or to a doctor. Now it may be the shooter ran through the magnometer and got stopped as opposed to getting through without detection.

Nobody is hurt, although a police officer apparently got hit in his vest. Shooter is in custody. Unclear what condition he is in.

over/under this was a code pink/Marxist/Islamic/leftist nut job and probably from the protest...

Won’t have stuff like this when it’s held in the big beautiful ballroom.
