White House Correspondents Dinner shooting, Manitoba to ban kids from social media, Michael Jackson biopic controversy, and more

Another alleged shooter has come dangerously close to Donald Trump. The U.S. president was at the White House Correspondents Dinner when shots rang out, upending the black-tie event. Investigators are probing the suspect's motives, but the Acting Attorney General says Trump and members of his administration were the likely targets. While no one was seriously hurt, the incident is raising serious questions about security. Also: Manitoba's premier has announced plans to ban kids in the province from social media and AI chatbots. The move is being met with widespread support - and Premier Wab Kinew says it'll protect children from endless scrolling designed for profit. But experts warn enforcing this ban - a first in Canada - may be tricky. And: The new movie Michael is king of the box office. The Michael Jackson bio-pic brought in $97-million US dollars at the North American box office this weekend, and more than double that worldwide. But lucrative debut aside, cultural critics are taking the movie to task. Not because of what's in the movie, but rather what's been left out. Plus: Marking one year since the Lapu-Lapu day tragedy in Vancouver, Palestinians vote in local elections, Angry Habs fans cross the line, and more.
