According to on-air reports, which were covering other topics when it occurred, shots have been fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Video of C-Span's coverage shows people ducking below their tables while the head table, where President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were sitting, evacuated. The anchor can be heard breaking in to point out the developing situation.

The situation is fluid, and this post will be updated as more information becomes known.Â
UPDATE:
It is now being reported that the Secret Service has killed the shooter. It's not clear whether the assailant ever got a shot off. It's possible the shots that rang out in the room were from Secret Service agents acting quickly enough to prevent that.Â

WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT WHCD;
Trump was introduced with First Lady 15 mins ish ago
Five or so mins after he was seated shots range out: POP POP POP POP. Sounds like five to me where I’m sitting.
Everyone immediately hit the floor.
Secret Service immediately took POTUS out and a search of the room began.There are thousands of people here. — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) April 26, 2026

Demcrats at it again.
Prayers up! Lord have mercy! Amen
The democrat party is nothing more than a domestic terrorist organization masquerading as a political party.
The insanity level runs high let’s stop and pray for a moment.

And anyone who supports the demonrat party is a traitor.
The demonrat party is nothing but a death cult.
I was concerned about that dinner as soon as I heard that the president would be in attendance yesterday. Glad the gunman has assumed room temperature
Yes, the president is fine.
WTF, they tried murdering President Trump AGAIN!!
I assumed regardless of if the President is there there is always added security, I want to know how some random person got in there with a gun
My sister was watching the event on CSPAN and said that they were talking about protestors by the entrance of the hotel and how strange it seemed that they weren’t be pushed further away.
Democrats going Wilkes booth again.
it is possible to get a firearm into that room?
