The Netflix series’ executive producer Dana Brunetti gave his account of the incident on Wednesday, writing on Facebook, “Shooting near House of Cards set. I turn on the news to see what is happening, and guess what they’re covering? Not the 5 dead and 3 wounded while gunman is still on the loose.”

“CNN asked me to come on air the other day to talk about House of Cards and Russia, and today there is an ongoing active shooter near the House of Cards stage and ZERO coverage,” he continued. “They’re going nonstop of Sessions and Trump! WTF?!”

The House of Cards cast includes Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, Neve Campbell and Mahershala Ali and the series is currently in production on its sixth season.
