#AssassinationAttempt
"A few years ago, I left behind the comfort and security of my life in Australia–where politics can be brutal but rarely bloody–to chase something bigger in Washington: the messy, electrifying center of global power, where journalism feels urgent, and democracy feels alive.
And there I was on Saturday night, at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, hiding under a table as gunshots rang out.
As I peeked over my chair to start recording on my phone, three things raced through my mind. One: Where’s the shooter? Two: Am I about to get my head blown off? And three: America, I love you ... but this is not normal.
Except increasingly, it is."
