Shooting at the White House Correspondence Dinner.

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/25/trump-gunshots-white-house-correspondents-dinner.html

"At least five shots were heard at the event in the Washington Hilton hotel around 8:35 p.m. The shots seemed to ring out from the back of the ballroom as attendees were eating their first course, several minutes after White House Correspondents’ Association President Weija Jiang delivered remarks.

Trump, who was seated on a stage at the front of the ballroom next to the first lady, was quickly surrounded by U.S. Secret Service members, while many attendees ducked under their tables.

Video of the event shows the president being ushered off the stage a few seconds later, as armed guards wearing tactical gear and large rifles appeared on the dais.

A source who was attending the event, and was briefed by Secret Service after the shooting, told CNBC’s Eamon Javers that a man with a shotgun had approached metal detectors and was shot by Secret Service agents.

He was then taken away in handcuffs, the source said."

Haven't heard if anyone but the shooter was hurt.
