A guest at the White House Correspondents Dinner remained seated and continued to eat his dinner, as shots rang out in the venue on Saturday (April 25).

The guest, who was identified by the New York Times as Creative Artists Agency agent, Michael Glantz, appeared to be unfazed by the unfurling drama and took a bite from his plate, as security personnel moved in to secure the ballroom at the Washington Hilton.

Saturday's shooting occurred at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Washington Hilton, where some 2,600 journalists and their guests had gathered for the traditional gala event that Trump was headlining.

The shooting raises fresh questions about Trump's security arrangements after he was previously targeted by two assassination attempts during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Officials said the suspect charged a Secret Service checkpoint armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives before being tackled and arrested, though he managed to wound an agent who was saved by his bulletproof vest.
