A shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner left a suspect in custody and prompted an immediate surge in security surrounding the White House.
Security around the White House was tightened on April 26, 2026, after gunfire erupted at the journalists' gala on April 25, and a suspect was taken into custody by law-enforcement agents shown in footage released by President Donald Trump.
Trump, who attended the dinner for the first time in years, was escorted from the event amid the chaos, while investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
