Fox News reported more details on Trump’s latest statements on the shooting:
President Donald Trump praised law enforcement Saturday night after a gunman rushed toward the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
ADVERTISEMENT“He charged from 50 yards away, so he was very far away from the room,” Trump said during a news conference from the White House.
“He was moving,” Trump added. “He was really moving.”
Trump commended the responding officers for their quick reaction.
“The reaction time was great,” he said. “Boy, those guys — they had their guns drawn. By the time he was there, they were shooting. I thought they were very impressive. And if I didn’t, I’d let you know.”
The suspect has since been identified as Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California.
