"We live in a crazy world"/ Trump on the incident at the press dinner:

US President Donald Trump said he was not at all concerned as he was evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Dinner after a gunman tried to force his way into the ballroom.

"I wasn't worried. I understand life. We live in a crazy world. I wanted to see what was going on... I wanted to see what was going on. And at that time we started to realize, maybe it was a bad problem ," Trump said during an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes," a day after the shooting at a Washington, D.C. hotel on Saturday night.

Trump said that at the time of the shooting, security asked him to hide and sit on the floor, while praising his officers as "great people." The president thanked the press for responsible coverage of the attack and called for people to resolve disputes peacefully.

During the interview, Trump emphasized the importance of building a new ballroom at the White House, where, according to him, security will be higher.

US Attorney General Todd Blanche said the perpetrator of the attack, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, had targeted senior White House officials present, based on preliminary findings, adding that the attacker's motive is still under investigation.

This was also stated in a letter written by the author himself, where he stated that he wanted to target members of the Trump administration "from the highest to the lowest" and that, while hotel guests and staff were not the intended targets, they would be attacked if necessary to reach officials. Meanwhile, it is reported that the FBI's Criminal Investigation Group and Terrorism Task Force are investigating the incident. /CNA
