Event.currentTarget returns Element and not EventTarget

[DaSchTour]

TypeScript Version: 2.1.4

Code
Example from MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/currentTarget

function hide(e){
  e.currentTarget.style.visibility = "hidden";
  // When this function is used as an event handler: this === e.currentTarget
}

var ps = document.getElementsByTagName('p');

for(var i = 0; i < ps.length; i++){
  ps[i].addEventListener('click', hide, false);
}

function hide(e: Event){
  e.currentTarget.style.visibility = "hidden";
  // When this function is used as an event handler: this === e.currentTarget
}

var ps = document.getElementsByTagName('p');

for(var i = 0; i < ps.length; i++){
  ps[i].addEventListener('click', hide, false);
}

Expected behavior:

e.currentTarget should be of type Element or EventTarget should extend Element

Actual behavior:
e.currentTarget is of type EventTarget which only has 3 properties

work for me

const test = (event: Event) => {
    const eventt = (event.currentTarget as HTMLInputElement);
}
