00:18A major security scare has rocked Washington after gunfire erupted outside a high-profile
00:24White House event attended by top leaders, celebrities, and journalists. U.S. President
00:30Donald Trump has now shared chilling CCTV footage of the incident, calling it a move
00:35for transparency as questions grow over how the breach happened.
00:40The shooting took place late Saturday night outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner,
00:44one of the most closely guarded events in the United States.
00:48The man has been captured. They're going to his apartment. I guess he lives in California.
00:55And he's a sick person, a very sick person.
00:59Witnesses say they heard between five and eight shots, triggering panic just outside the main
01:04ballroom where hundreds had gathered. Moments later, Secret Service agents sprang into action.
01:10The CCTV footage shared by Trump shows a figure dressed in black suddenly running through the
01:16secured perimeter. Within seconds, armed agents react, draw their weapons, and confront the
01:22individual believed to be the shooter. The suspect was quickly overpowered and taken into custody,
01:28though authorities have not officially confirmed the identity. However, some reports circulating online
01:35claim the individual may be a 31-year-old from California, though this remains unverified.
01:41President Trump was immediately rushed to safety and later confirmed that he was not injured.
01:47First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and several Cabinet members were also
01:54swiftly evacuated as security teams locked down the area. Among those present were top officials,
02:00including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Investigators are now
02:07reviewing CCTV footage, collecting witness statements, and examining the suspect's background to determine
02:14the motive behind the attack. What remains clear is the speed of the Secret Service response,
02:19which likely prevented a far more dangerous situation. But the incident has once again raised serious
02:26concerns about security, even at the most protected events in the United States. As the investigation
02:32continues, the big question remains. Was this a targeted attack or a lone breach that exposed critical gaps in security?
03:16We'll be right back to you!
