59:03Now PlayingThis morning, we break down the shocking shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and the confusion that followed.
An armed suspect breached a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton and opened fire, prompting Secret Service to evacuate Donald Trump and other top officials.
A suspect has been taken into custody, but beyond the immediate facts, the story has quickly become more complicated. Questions are mounting about security gaps, conflicting early reports, and the flood of conspiracy theories spreading online.
At the same time, Trump and his allies are already assigning blame and using the incident to push broader political arguments, including renewed calls for a White House ballroom.
So what actually happened, and why does the narrative seem to be shifting so quickly? Boston Globe’s media reporter Aidan Ryan and Semafor’s media editor, Max Tani, were on the ground at the dinner during the shooting. They join us this morning to break it all down.
