During the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington DC, reports of gunfire-like sounds caused panic and chaos at the venue. According to initial information, the shooting did not occur inside the ballroom but in the porch area of the hotel. However, some accounts suggest that a person was present outside the ballroom who may have opened fire. The loud sound triggered immediate confusion among attendees, and security agencies quickly responded to control the situation. U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, along with others present, reportedly took cover under tables as a safety precaution. Security personnel, including SWAT teams, rushed to secure the area and moved guests to safer locations. Some reports claimed that the suspect was apprehended, while others suggested that the attacker may have been neutralized, though confirmation is still pending. President Trump stated that the suspected attacker has been taken into custody. However, authorities have not yet officially confirmed the details. The event was temporarily disrupted following the incident. The identity and motive of the attacker remain unknown, and an investigation is currently underway.
