Erika Kirk, the 37-year-old widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has condemned reporters for breaking the 'number one rule of journalism' during the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting. She was among thousands of guests at the annual event when an armed man rushed security at the Washington Hilton Hotel, interrupting the dinner with gunfire.
Kirk criticised journalists in the room for filming after the shooting began, stating they were 'so concerned about getting a video in a room with an active shooter, that they could have accidentally and quite literally filmed themselves being shot.' She added that 'many of those people have become so desensitized that fight or flight became secondary to the opportunity of putting themselves into the story.'
