White House cancels Trump public event after shooting at lawmakers
The White House says that it’s canceling US President Donald Trump’s only public event on Wednesday due to the shooting involving members of Congress.
Trump was scheduled to visit the Department of Labor later in the afternoon to talk about apprenticeships and sign an executive order.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the chamber’s No. 3 Republican leader, was shot during a congressional baseball practice outside of Washington.
The White House also cancels a “listening session” on tax reform with top economic adviser Gary Cohn and auto industry leaders.
