The White House correspondents' dinner has been rescheduled for July 24, after a shooting interrupted the annual event in April, White House Correspondents' Association president Weijia Jiang said.

"Rescheduling was not automatic. It was a choice that the WHCA board made after thoughtful consideration and input from our members," she said in a statement.
