NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Julie Tsirkin was in the middle of a live coverage when gunshots were heard outside the White House. Several consecutive shots were fired but Tsirkin did not seem to realise what was going on.
As expected, Tsirkin faced brutal online mockery for her reaction. Viewers and social media users quickly clipped the live broadcast. Many argued that she moved far too slowly given the imminent danger. Some fans found her having weak survival instincts for being 'clueless' of the danger around her.
