During the White House Correspondents' Association dinner held at the Washington Hilton hotel in Washington, D.C., Fox News reporter Aishah Hasnie experienced a call drop while discussing a safety warning from Karoline Leavitt’s husband. Just before the call was interrupted, Hasnie recounted how he expressed concern for her safety, stating, 'You need to be very safe.' Shortly after this conversation, gunfire was reported outside the venue, leading to the swift evacuation of attendees, including U.S. President Donald Trump and his cabinet members. The suspected shooter, identified as a 31-year-old mechanical engineer from California, was arrested after firing a shotgun at a Secret Service agent. Following the call drop, speculation surged on social media, with some users suggesting the interruption was intentional, while others dismissed it as a common issue in crowded areas. Hasnie later clarified on social media that the call drop was due to poor cell service in the ballroom and emphasized that the discussion was merely about general safety concerns.
