Breaking News: Donald Trump reacts angrily after shooting threat at WH dinner event

A shocking development has emerged in the shooting incident linked to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, where the accused attacker allegedly sent a confession message to his family before carrying out the act. The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Paul Thomas Allen from California, reportedly used disturbing terms such as “rapist” and “pedophile” in the message, though no direct name was mentioned. The incident took place around 8:30 PM local time at the Hilton hotel venue, where prominent political leaders, journalists, and dignitaries had gathered. Donald Trump was present at the event along with Melania Trump and US Vice President JD Vance. Trump was scheduled to deliver a speech before the attack disrupted proceedings. Responding to questions in an interview, Trump strongly denied any allegations implied in the attacker’s message. He stated emphatically that he is “not a rapist” and “not a pedophile,” adding that he has never committed such crimes. Trump also claimed that the attacker is mentally unstable. According to preliminary information, the accused had traveled from California to Washington before executing the attack. He reportedly worked as a teacher and was also involved in game development. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the motive and circumstances surrounding the incident. The episode has raised serious concerns about security at high-profile events and sparked political and public debate across the United States.
