Political violence shakes the United States
Elegant as they were, dressed in tuxedos, politicians and journalists gathered at the annual correspondents' dinner in Washington had to hide under tables upon hearing sharp bangs in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel. Donald Trump, his wife Melania, and Vice President JD Vance were rapidly evacuated from the stage. A secret service agent was shot, though saved by his bulletproof vest. The attacker — a man armed to the teeth, according to a selfie he took before the attack — was arrested. This is how the United States is.
