Minutes after the dinner began at the Washington Hilton Hotel, President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, were evacuated due to an alleged shooting incident. A well-known ally of Trump, White was sitting close to the president’s table when the incident occurred. While most attendees ducked for cover, White allegedly stayed up to soak in every moment of the surreal experience. White says that uniformed officers even came over to the table he was sitting to look for the shooter.
Taking It All In
“It started to get noisy,” White told USA Today. “Tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns. They were telling me to get down, I didn’t get down. It was f—-ing awesome. I literally took every minute of it in. And it was pretty crazy, unique experience… We were sitting right in front of where the president was. Nobody got tackled. Guys came in looking for shooters. They came over to our table. I thought the shooter was over by us or something.”
Trump stated that an officer was shot but is in “great shape,” according to USA Today. Trump also said that the alleged shooter carrying “multiple weapons” has been apprehended.
UFC CEO Dana White was in attendance during the alleged shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and gave his reaction.
“It was f*cking awesome. I literally took every minute of it in. It was a pretty crazy, unique experience.”
