President Donald Trump is set to address the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after the event was halted earlier this week due to a shooting outside the venue, multiple outlets report. The dinner, originally scheduled for April 25, is called off at the time of the incident following security action around the ballroom area. According to one report, a man tried to force his way through a security checkpoint before firing a shotgun near the venue, prompting the gathering to be stopped.
The dinner is rescheduled, and the planned remarks by Trump are expected to take place at the later event. The rescheduling follows the disruption caused by the gunfire and the subsequent security response. Details about injuries, arrests, or the man’s motivations are not provided in the excerpts summarized here.
The reports describe the situation primarily as a security-related interruption that leads to postponement, with Trump’s address remaining a key component of the replanned program.
