The show must go on.

Trump Insists WHCD Will Be Rescheduled.

Looks like they didn't even get to finish their salad at this one.

Interesting, considering he didn't even show to many of the ones he's been invited to.

Just an amusing note on the whole White House Ballroom side quest: the WHCD guest list is typically double the planned capacity for that ballroom. Just so we know the colour of that particular herring.

I think we can rule Blue on Blue to be the culprit.
Nothing to see here folks, move along...

Admittedly, having seen the gaggle of different agencies working things like this, and stuff that happens in Multi-Jurisdiction Task Forces with "trained" TAC/ERT/SWAT/SRU etc officers I can easily see how an agent in civilian clothes could get shot in cases of mistaken ID.
One reason that one needs to be very very careful when armed and not in uniform.

And US law enforcement is notoriously subdivided into numerous gaggles.

Some entities don’t even rate gaggle as a descriptor.

By the time the ballroom is done, the WH correspondents' association will be much smaller.

Like next to non-existent?

The FBI released a 5 minute video of event on Saturday night. You can see near the end the security screening point was being broken down and packed up. Then Allen can be seen rushing through and firing a shot and being engaged by Secret Service. I wonder if Allen made a bad choice with a pump action shotgun and totally forgot to cycle the action by only getting one round off.
