Erika Kirk has spoken out following the assassination attempt made against Donald Trump and other senior members of his administration on Saturday, April 25.
Shocking scenes played out at the Washington Hilton hotel as the venue hosted the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, when a gunman tried to break through a checkpoint armed with a handgun, shotgun, and knives.
The suspect was later identified as 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen, 31, from southern California. Investigators are now assessing a manifesto he reportedly wrote before carrying out the attempted assassination.
Said manifesto is alleged to include a list of targets for the shooting, ranked from highest to lowest. Trump administration officials feature at the top of the list.
Fortunately, Allen’s primary targets were whisked away to safety before any of them found themselves in harm’s way. Allen, meanwhile, was subdued after firing one shot, hitting a Secret Service agent who was protected by a bulletproof vest.
