President donald trump is Coronavirus Briefing has been interrupted by a shooting outside the white house. A secret Service Agent quickly ushered him out of the Briefing Room journalists were left confused with the doors locked the president returned a few minutes later. So thank you very much for the the there was a shooting. In seems to be very well under control id like to think the secret service for doing their. Always quick and very Effective Work but there was an actual shooting and. Somebody has been taken to the hospital i dont know the condition of the person mike hanna joins us live now from washington d. C. Mike sir president Trumps Press Conference there abruptly interrupted by his secret Service Detail so what more do we now know about the security incident itself well President Trump came back and made that statement saying that he was unruffled by it all that he had not been taken down to the bunker below the white House Building but he spent the minutes away in the white house an oval office waiting for the situation to clarify the secret service has released a statement saying that one secret Service Agent and one what it called mail subject were injured and taken to hospital in the shooting it says at no time was there a breach in the white house complex and at no stage has the secret service was any up its protected under threat so thats the situation from the secret service President Trump as you saw there at the way for a number of minutes but return to carry on with this news briefing yet michael when he came back from talks up the economy he talked up the stock market also spoke broadly about the pandemic what more they have to say. Indeed years really repeated things that weve heard about the pandemic before some of which many Health Officials disagree with entirely he once again hailed the testing procedures within the United States as the best in the world saying that his administration was doing better than anybody in terms of dealing with the ongoing pandemic he also turned to the issue of schools this has been a contentious point within the United StatesPresident Trump has been urging all schools to reopen in person the school year is just about to begin a number of schools in some states have begun to open most of them did Virtual Education in other words they were doing and remote plea as they did when that pandemic hit in some states children were given the option of whether to be tutored at home by a Virtual Education or to go to school in one state in indiana one county in indiana only about 70 percent of children actually attended school in person but President Trump repeated the highly contentious statement that children are less prone to infection than adults this is what he had to say. That they will catch it easily dont get very sick and according to the people that ive spoken to they dont transported or transferred to other people or certainly not very easily so yeah i think schools have to open who want to get our economy going. Well the opinion of senior Health Officials is that whether or not children carry the virus and to what degree they efficiently carry it is actually unknown at this particular stage what is known is that more than a quarter of a 1000000 children in the United States have tested positive for the virus so thats another statement by President Trump thats highly questionable bearing right to my kind of there live from washington mike thank you.
