White House postpones Latino music event

The White House announced it will postpone the Musica Latina event scheduled for Monday, in light of the shootings at the Navy Yard.

A new date has not been set for the event, one of the White House's celebrations tied to Hispanic Heritage Month.

At least 13 people died at the U.S. Navy command complex in the nation's capital, including one man identified the shooter. The deadly incident was the centerpiece of a drama-filled day in Washington, forcing hundreds of Navy workers to stay inside their offices and the U.S. Senate to temporarily lock down all of its buildings.

First lady Michelle Obama had previewed Monday's concert earlier in the day at the White House, saying President Obama was looking forward to swaying to the Latin beat.
