India, April 26 -- US President Donald Trump on Saturday (local time) addressed reporters at the White House after he and other top leaders of the United States were evacuated from a White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.

In his address, Trump revealed that the shooter was armed with multiple weapons and "shot from very close distance." Calling the incident "unexpected," Trump said the shooting suspect was a 'would-be assassin.'

Talking about the location, Trump said that it was not a "particularly secure building." The man charged past a security checkpoint, Trump told a press briefing, adding: "One officer was shot but saved by the fact that he was wearing a, obviously, a very good bulletproof vest."
