White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said 'there will be some shots fired tonight' as a figure of speech about Trump's speech minutes before an actual shooting forced evacuation of Trump, the First Lady, VP Vance, and Cabinet members from the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday. A suspect was apprehended and all protectees were reported safe. The headline frames this as a 'bizarre brag' implying foreknowledge, but Leavitt's comment was clearly metaphorical commentary on Trump's typical speaking style—the timing is eerie but coincidental, not evidence of advance knowledge.
