Reports indicate that at least four gunshots were fired inside the Washington Hilton shortly after 8:30 p.m., approximately 20 minutes after the president and first lady entered the ballroom.
The alleged shooter is reportedly from the Los Angeles area. He was detained and may have been shot and killed. Photos taken after the incident show the suspect lying shirtless on the floor.
In the aftermath, comments made by Leavitt drew significant attention. One person commented, “There were ‘shots fired’ indeed. How odd,” while another remarked, “Yikes, this did not age well.”
One user speculated, “This video was posted an hour before shots were fired at the dining table in the building. I knew that event was staged.”
Another person criticized, “Just an unfortunate choice of words, the conspiracy theorists are nuts.”
