Conspiracy theories are swirling about the White House Correspondents’ Dinner staged shooting

It's like 9/11 or Reichstag fire. It doesn't have to be under preplanned direct US command, for it to be the great opportunity to push through a ballroom, or inflict more fascist budget items. The best line is that "he was there to harm rapist pedophile traitors. Mr Trump, why do you think that meant you?" which is actually only evidence to charge him with attempted assassination of president.

Wasn’t it telegraphed hours in advance in some interview?

No. They were talking about how he'd be talking shit per usual, i.e. there would be "shots fired".
