The shooting incident during an event with the participation of US President Donald Trump is deeply concerning, President Iliana Yotova wrote on Facebook.
Any form of violence against political leaders, democratic institutions and citizens is categorically unacceptable and undermines the foundations of society. This incident once again shows how fragile security can be and how important it is to uphold the principles of democracy through dialogue, not violence, wrote Iliana Yotova.
According to the president, it is necessary for all political, state and public leaders to clearly condemn such actions.
Donald Trump was evacuated after shots were fired at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The shooter was detained, and American media have already portrayed him as an expert in technology and teaching.
Leaders from around the world reacted to the shooting, which was attended last night by US President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and over 2,600 guests. The dinner was held at the "Hilton" hotel in Washington.
