- The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner , originally canceled in April due to a shooting , has been rescheduled for July 24 in Washington, D.C.
- The April event was abruptly halted after a gunman opened fire near the Washington Hilton's security screening area, prompting Secret Service agents to rush President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to safety.
- One Secret Service agent was shot and injured during the incident, which caused guests to duck for cover.
- Authorities identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, who allegedly authored an anti-Trump manifesto and faces charges including attempted assassination of the president.
- WHCA President Weijia Jiang stated the decision to reschedule was made to ensure an act of violence does not have the final say, especially during America's 250th anniversary year.
