The annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, held in Washington, D.C., was thrown into chaos on Saturday night when gunfire erupted near a security screening area. Among those affected was Erika Kirk, widow of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was seen in tears and repeatedly stating, 'I just want to go home' during her evacuation. The incident prompted a rapid response from the United States Secret Service, which swiftly removed President Donald Trump from the stage as armed agents rushed through the venue. Eyewitnesses reported that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was also evacuated, appearing disoriented. Authorities confirmed that a suspect was apprehended, and Trump commended the Secret Service for their effective handling of the situation. He indicated that the event would be rescheduled within a month despite the disruption, stating that all attendees, including the First Lady and Vice President, were safe.
