Good morning. It is Sunday, April the 26th. I'm Ali Valshi reporting from Washington, D.C.

We're following the breaking news out of D.C. where last night a shooting took place at the annual White House correspondence dinner.

Officials say an attacker armed with knives with two guns and several knives rushed the

Eastern time. Dinner guests were mingling in the ballroom. The evening's host, often a comedian,

but not last night. It was the mentalist,

Oz Perlman. He was performing for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. In the next
