WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Saturday that the suspect behind a shooting incident at a media gala in Washington was a “would-be assassin,” adding that the man was “armed with multiple weapons.”
The man charged past a security checkpoint, Trump told a press briefing at the White House, adding: “One officer was shot but saved by the fact that he was wearing a, obviously, a very good bulletproof vest.”
“We looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight, and I will say, you know, it’s not a particularly secure building,” the US leader added.
