00:00I didn't fully hear the shots, or it's like I didn't realize it was happening until I was like, oh
00:05gosh, and then there was a little commotion.
00:07The president then, or Secret Service, sorry, they rushed toward the president and took him out.
00:14When I saw the commotion and heard, oh my gosh, it was a gunshot, people started saying stuff, I just
00:20ducked under the table.
00:21There were some shots, I didn't fully hear the shots, or it's like I didn't realize it was happening until
00:27I was like, oh gosh, and then there was a little commotion.
00:30The president then, or Secret Service, sorry, they rushed toward the president and took him out.
00:37Although, so there was a lot of kind of waiting time until they started sort of escorting people out or
00:44telling people to leave.
00:45When I saw the commotion and heard, oh my gosh, it was a gunshot, people started saying stuff, I just
00:51ducked under the table and I was like, I'm not going to risk this.
00:53I mean, I think the president was just sitting up at the main table, I think probably starting on the
00:59appetizer, and yeah, it was all really surreal.
01:03So surreal, talk about it now.
01:04I was shaking up, yeah, shaking up.
01:07I don't really have, I left my bag inside, so that's going to be a minute.
01:10A major security scare has rocked Washington after gunfire erupted outside a high-profile White House event attended by top
01:19leaders, celebrities, and journalists.
01:22U.S. President Donald Trump has now shared chilling CCTV footage of the incident, calling it a move for transparency
01:29as questions grow over how the breach happened.
01:32The shooting took place late Saturday night, outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner, one of the most closely guarded events
01:39in the United States.
01:41The man has been captured. They're going to his apartment, I guess he lives in California, and he's a sick
01:49person, a very sick person.
01:51Witnesses say they heard between five and eight shots, triggering panic just outside the main ballroom, where hundreds had gathered.
01:58Moments later, Secret Service agents sprang into action.
02:03The CCTV footage shared by Trump shows a figure dressed in black suddenly running through the secured perimeter.
02:10Within seconds, armed agents react, draw their weapons, and confront the individual believed to be the shooter.
02:17The suspect was quickly overpowered and taken into custody, though authorities have not officially confirmed the identity.
02:24However, some reports circulating online claim the individual may be a 31-year-old from California, though this remains unverified.
02:34President Trump was immediately rushed to safety and later confirmed that he was not injured.
02:40First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and several Cabinet members were also swiftly evacuated as security teams
02:49locked down the area.
02:50Among those present were top officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
02:59Investigators are now reviewing CCTV footage, collecting witness statements, and examining the suspect's background to determine the motive behind the
03:07attack.
03:08What remains clear is the speed of the Secret Service response, which likely prevented a far more dangerous situation.
03:16But the incident has once again raised serious concerns about security, even at the most protected events in the United
03:23States.
03:24As the investigation continues, the big question remains.
03:28Was this a targeted attack or a lone breach that exposed critical gaps in security?
