Bruce Springsteen Condemns White House Correspondents' Dinner Shooting
He praised the lack of injuries and urged unity over division after the armed suspect was arrested, while denouncing political violence.
- Bruce Springsteen, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, condemned the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner during his concert in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, urging the audience to choose "unity over division" and reject political violence.
- An armed man, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, charged a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night, forcing President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance to evacuate as the dinner began.
- The incident marks the third attempt on Trump's life since re-taking office, occurring at the same Washington Hilton where late President Ronald Reagan was nearly assassinated by gunman John Hinckley more than 45 years ago.
- Trump appeared on 60 Minutes on Sunday, describing the chaos and his breach of security protocol, while calling Springsteen a "dried up prune" and demanding supporters boycott his concerts.
- Despite his history as a vocal Trump critic, Springsteen adopted a conciliatory tone following the violence, while Trump requested the scuttled dinner be rescheduled within 30 days to showcase his new White House ballroom.
