U.S. President Donald Trump was dramatically rushed off stage after gunshots were fired during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., triggering panic among hundreds of high-profile guests.The incident occurred on the night of April 25, 2026, at the Washington Hilton hotel, where the annual event was being held. Reports indicate that an armed man attempted to breach a security checkpoint near the ballroom and fired shots, prompting an immediate response from the U.S. Secret Service.
As the gunshots rang out, security agents quickly surrounded Trump and escorted him off stage, while attendees—including journalists, politicians, and celebrities—took cover under tables.
Authorities confirmed that the suspect, believed to be acting alone, was apprehended at the scene. He was reportedly armed with multiple weapons, including a shotgun and knives, and now faces serious charges.
During the chaos, at least one Secret Service agent was struck, but officials said the officer was protected by a bulletproof vest and is recovering.
Trump, along with the First Lady and other top officials, was confirmed safe and later returned to the White House, where he addressed the nation and praised law enforcement for their swift action.
