Ben Stiller's recent tweet celebrating the New York Knicks' 114-98 victory over the Atlanta Hawks was taken out of context following a tragic shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 25, 2026. The event, held at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., was disrupted when a gunman, identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, opened fire outside the ballroom, injuring a Secret Service agent. Stiller's tweet, which simply stated 'Got it done,' was misinterpreted by many as a celebration of the shooting, leading to over 3,000 comments criticizing him. Despite the backlash, Stiller has not clarified his statement or addressed the shooting directly. The incident at the dinner resulted in immediate evacuations, with attendees hiding under tables and the event being canceled due to safety concerns. Allen has been arrested and is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder of a federal officer.
