US President Donald Trump was rushed to safety after shots were fired during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Authorities confirmed that Trump was not injured, while a suspect armed with multiple weapons was swiftly taken into custody.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched a full-scale investigation and is urging witnesses to come forward. Trump revealed the suspect was from California and described the situation as fast-moving and dangerous.

World leaders, including Shehbaz Sharif, condemned the shocking incident, while officials confirmed the attack does not appear linked to any international conflict. The dramatic security breach has raised serious concerns over safety at high-profile US events.

00:00The people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones
00:05that they go after.
00:07You know, he charged from 50 yards away, so he was very far away from the room.
00:11And what did you think when you saw the video of how fast he was running?
00:14He was moving.
00:15He was really moving.
00:17Thank you, President Trump.
00:18There's a report in the New York Post that this assailant assembled his weapon somewhere
00:25on site at the hotel.
00:27What do you think about that?
00:28And I ask respectfully, why do you think this keeps happening to you?
00:36Well, you know, I've studied assassinations.
00:41And I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most, you take a look
00:47at the people, Abraham Lincoln, I mean, you go through the people that have gone through
00:53this where they got them.
00:55But the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones
01:01that they go after.
01:02They don't go after the ones that don't do much because they like it that way.
01:06And when you look at the people that have either, whether it was an attempt or a successful
01:13attempt, they're very impactful people.
01:16Just take a look at the names here, the big names.
01:20And I hate to say I'm honored by that, but I've done a lot.
01:24We've done a lot.
01:25We have, we've taken this country and we were a laughing stock for years.
01:30And now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
01:32We've changed this country.
01:35And there are a lot of people that are not happy about that.
01:37So I think that's the answer, Peter.
01:39The Pressurman and Majority in the House.
01:39The Pressurman and Majority after Butler, your team for a while, rethought outdoor events.
01:43Yeah.
01:44The Pressurman and Majority in the House.
01:44Do you think that you now need to rethink indoor events?
01:46Well, then you just don't do events.
01:48No, I can't do that.
01:49I have to, you know, it is what it is.
01:51We have to do it.
01:52The room was very, very secure.
01:54You know, he charged from 50 yards away.
01:57So he was very far away from the room.
01:58And what did you think when you saw the video of how fast he was running?
02:01He was moving.
02:03He was really moving.
02:04And the reaction time was great.
02:06Boy, those guys, they had their guns drawn literally by the time he was there.
02:10They were shooting.
02:11They were — I thought they were very impressive.
02:14I thought they were very impressive.
02:16And if I didn't, I'd let you know, you know.
02:18I'm not going to be — I would not stand for that.
02:21No, I thought they were very impressive.
02:22Thank you, President Trump.
02:24And thank you for updating us on the suspect earlier.
02:27Were you aware of any threats?
02:29Was your team aware of any threats beforehand?
02:31And do you believe you were the target of this tonight?
02:34I guess.
02:34I mean, these people are — they're crazy.
02:36They're crazy.
02:37And, you know, you never know.
02:39He was very far away from me.
02:40He had to go through a lot.
02:42You know, we had — we had resources all over.
02:45We had resources sitting at tables, literally in disguise, sitting maybe at your table.
02:51Who knows?
02:51But we had — we had people all over the room, so he had a long way to go.
02:55That was really a first line of defense, and they got him.
02:58And they really, you know, they acted incredibly.
03:01No, we have — we've had no — there was no notification.
03:05We had no idea.
03:06Go ahead, Kim.
03:06Do you not have any political motivations from this —
03:09Well, you never know.
03:09No, we'll be able to tell you that maybe by tomorrow or the next day.
03:13You know, he's in custody, and they're asking him a lot of questions.
03:17I guess they're going over, Todd, and they're — they're already at his apartment.
03:20He lives in California.
03:22Yes, sir.
03:23And they'll be — they're over there.
03:24So they'll be able to tell you.
03:26Thank you, Caitlin.
03:28President Trump, did the suspect say anything, or was he wearing anything that would allege
03:34some type of motive here?
03:35Nothing — no.
03:36I mean, he was a guy who looked pretty evil when he was down.
03:41You know, they had him down.
03:42He was fighting hard.
03:43He was a — obvious — in my opinion, a sick person.
03:46Who would do that but a sick person?
03:48But I think you're going to find everything about him.
03:50No reason to talk about it now.
03:52But tomorrow, at this time, long before this time, you're going to know a lot of things
03:56about him.
03:56He was a — they seemed to think he was a lone wolf, and I feel that, too.
04:01Are you concerned about U.S. Secret Service protection ability?
04:04We saw several of the detailies take minutes to be escorted out of the room.
04:11No, they acted very quickly.
04:12No, I was very impressed by Secret Service.
04:15I mean, I'm the one — and, Mark Wayne, you would agree with that, I think — I'm
04:18the one that would complain.
04:21You don't have to complain for me.
04:22I would be complaining.
04:23I'd be up here right now saying they didn't do their job.
04:25Well, believe me, because, you know, it's my life, and I want to live because I want
04:30to make this country great.
04:31That's why I want to live.
04:33But when you're impactful, they go after you.
04:35When you're not impactful, they leave you alone.
04:37Okay, a couple of — a couple of more.
04:39A couple of more.
04:40Go ahead, please.
04:41Is there any indication that this shooting could have been linked to the war in Iran?
04:49I don't think so, but you never know.
04:52We're going to know a lot.
04:53We have the best people in the world working on it, and we're going to know a lot.
04:57Please.
04:57Please.
