美国时间10日晚，白宫附近发生枪击事件，正在白宫新闻简报室的总统特朗普一度被特工处人员护送离开。

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday afternoon was temporarily escorted by a Secret Service agent from an ongoing coronavirus briefing after a shooting was reported outside the White House.

 

据CNN报道，当时简报会仅开始几分钟，特朗普讲话时一位特勤人员上前打断，并希望特朗普暂时离开。

Trump had been midsentence during the first attempt at a briefing when security came into the room and asked him to leave the area.

特朗普在看到工作人员近前时还问道：“怎么了”？然后工作人员简单回应他“到外面去”。特朗普“哦”了一声便离开了简报室。

"Excuse me?" Trump asked when the security approached.

"Step outside," the agent said.

"Oh," Trump said before departing the room.

同时可以听到台下的记者们在问“发生了什么事？”以及按下快门的声音。



几分钟后，特朗普返回新闻简报室继续举行记者会，并确认了枪击事件。据他透露，白宫外发生枪击事件，局面“似乎得到很好控制”。 他说，特工处人员朝一名带有武器的嫌疑人开枪，没有其他人受伤。

Trump returned to the briefing room minutes later, confirming a shooting."There was a shooting outside of the White House," Trump said when he returned. "It seems to be very well under control," Trump said. No one else was injured, according to the president. "It was the suspect that was shot."

特工处在社交媒体上发表声明说，枪击事件发生在白宫西侧道路上，执法人员正在现场。随后，特工处在晚些时候的推特中表示调查“正在进行”，但是没有人闯入白宫建筑群，被保护对象也没有危险。

After he returned to the podium, the Secret Service tweeted that there had been an officer-involved shooting at 17th Street Northwest and Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest. The Secret Service said later Monday on Twitter that an investigation of the shooting "is ongoing" but that "at no time during this incident was the White House complex breached or were any protectees in danger."
 


在随后的发布会上，有记者提问，当特朗普离开简报室后，他是否被特工人员带去地堡？特朗普则表示，他只是被带去了白宫的椭圆办公室。

Trump said he was not taken to the protective bunker.He said he has been taken to the Oval Office when he was evacuated.

特朗普还称这一事件让他和现场记者一样感到意外（surprised），而且“很不同寻常（pretty unusual）”。

今年5月底，特朗普曾短暂地被特工人员带进了白宫的地堡，而当时白宫外正有大批抗议者聚集。这样的表现令很多外国网友不满，纷纷在社交媒体上嘲讽特朗普是“堡藏男孩”（Bunker Boy）, #Bunkerboy的词条也曾火上了推特热搜。不过，特朗普随后称自己去地堡是为了视察。（戳这里回顾）
