Obama denounces shooting at Trump gala dinner

Former U.S. President Barack Obama on Sunday called on Americans to reject violence following an attack at a press gala dinner attended by President Donald Trump.

"Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all (of) us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy," Obama wrote on X, adding praise for law enforcement officers who scrambled to protect Trump.
