President Trump Says He’s Had ‘Quite the Evening’ After Reports of Shots Fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner

President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President JD Vance are safe following reports of multiple shots fired in the lobby of the hotel where the White House Corresponds’ Dinner is taking place.

According to a report by People, and footage circulating on X, Donald, 79, was on stage at the April 25 event when men who appeared to be secret service agents swarmed the ballroom and quickly escorted him away. Vance, 41, and Melania, 55,  were also removed from the room, as was and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“Quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely,” Donald posted on Truth Social after the incident. “The shooter has been apprehended, and I have recommended that we “LET THE SHOW GO ON” but, will entirely be guided by Law Enforcement. They will make a decision shortly.”

“Regardless of that decision,” added the president, “the evening will be much different than planned, and we’ll just, plain, have to do it again.”

This was Trump’s first time participating in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as president after years of skipping the event.

“We were just eating dinner and Secret Service and everybody started yelling. There were shots fired,” White House correspondent Beni Harmony recalled during an interview with Real American Voice. “We heard it, it was right there in the stairway.”

“The shooter is in custody and no one was injured,” Harmony continued, adding that Robert F Kenndy Jr. was “rushed out right infront of us.”
