The president of the United States, donald trumpshared this Saturday through his social network, Truth Social, a series of images and a video that show the moment of the arrest and persecution of the suspect in shooting at White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
The messages published by the president lack accompanying text and are limited to the dissemination of visual material about the incident carried out by a 31-year-old man, originally from Californiawhose identity has not been officially revealed in this context.
The president shared two images showing the suspect lying on the groundface down and without clothes, while being guarded by security force agents after being subdued.
While the video captures the young man running through the corridors of the hotel where the event was being held. In the sequence, a security agent is seen opening fire in the direction of the suspect.
However, the audiovisual material is inconclusive regarding the outcome of the shooting, since the individual leaves the camera’s viewing angle at the moment the agent responds to the situation, preventing us from confirming whether he was injured by a gunshot at that precise moment..
Today was the first dinner of the WHCA which Trump attended as president, since he decided to boycott them during his first term, and also last year, when he returned to the White House after winning the presidential elections in November 2024. (I)
