Video from inside the event showed attendees diving under tables and taking cover as panic spread through the room.
Fox News’ John Roberts reported from the ballroom that shots were fired and that he had heard the suspected shooter was engaged by Secret Service.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier said he also heard shots fired, but noted they did not appear to originate from inside the ballroom.
Sources told Fox News the individual never made it inside the ballroom, was taken into custody and removed from the scene.

President Trump was seen being quickly escorted out of the room by security and White House officials tell Fox News Digital both he, the First Lady and Karoline Leavitt are safe at this time.

Breaking News: Just Now

Trump expected to return to White House Correspondents' Dinner after shooting suspect neutralized​


President Donald Trump never left the White House Correspondents’ Dinner venue and remained nearby following the security scare that briefly disrupted the event, Fox News can confirm.

Trump was moved to a secure holding area as a precaution and “wants the show to go on,” according to Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich.

Sources familiar with the situation told Fox News an individual attempted to get through security screening with a gun but was stopped by Secret Service before entering the ballroom. The suspect has since been taken offsite.

Staff are now working to reset the head table as the dinner prepares to resume.

 

New: WHCD Shooter Identified, Allegedly a Kamala Harris Donor From California​


Now, we know his name, and at least a strong indication that his target was indeed Trump.
Here's a picture of the shooter, posted by the president himself:

That matches pictures of a teacher from Torrance, CA, named Cole Tomas Allen.
That same name, occupation, employer, and location match an ActBlue donation to Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign, suggesting that Allen was a Democrat and was almost certainly there to target Trump and not members of the press.


 
This inability for the country to do anything about radicalized progressive domestic enemies is frightening. While most of those idiots simply are liars and wrong while acting like children with their thoughts, words, and deeds, a good proportion of that same group now appear to have violent unhinged criminal impulses with low restraint. Plus, they get funding. Then there's the issue of the rhetoric that is spewed about Trump, MAGA, Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, etc. that fuels the violent, unhinged, criminal impulses to fester and explode. Such a concoction is a bad mix that seems to only worsen with many dormant lunatics still awaiting the moment they explode and do this again and again and again.
 
This 9 min link shows how the Trump table responded to the shots. Nobody at the table actually could hear the shots. It was several seconds after the shots before they were whisked away. Good job by the SS moving him and his wife quickly once they knew what happened.

Good video analysis
