Actually, Caroline Levitt was talking about the White Correspondents' Dinner. During this time when he was asked what the atmosphere was going to be like tonight. In response to this he said that tonight is going to be worth watching. His style will be visible in Trump's address tonight. Trump will warm up the program and there will be a 'shootout'. Therefore everyone should see it. This would be really awesome. I look forward to hearing it. He had used the word shots fired for the firing.
This video of Caroline Levitt is becoming quite viral on social media. People are raising questions as to how the White House Press Secretary knew about the firing before the attack. People are making different types of comments.
Talking about the same, during the firing in Hilton Hotel, more than 2600 people were present in the hall. There was panic all around after the firing. To save their lives, people started hiding under the tables shouting get down, while the hotel staff also ran towards safe places. The American Secret Service immediately took charge and surrounded the entire area and took the suspect into custody.
After the incident, Trump informed on social media that the attacker has been caught and everyone is safe. He said it was a wonderful evening in Washington DC. The Secret Service and law enforcement officers did an excellent job. He acted immediately and bravely. The attacker has been captured, and I have recommended that we continue the program, but will completely follow the instructions of law enforcement agencies. They will take a decision soon.
