Goa, April 26 -- A terrifying security breach unfolded at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night, April 25, 2026, when 5-8 gunshots echoed outside the Hilton hotel ballroom in Washington, DC.

The event, attended by hundreds of journalists, celebrities, national leaders, and President Donald Trump, descended into chaos as guests ducked under tables. Security personnel burst in shouting "Get down!" and "Out of the way, sir!" while staff paused serving spring pea and burrata salad.
