Mortified guests are breaking the silence after a dramatic shooting episode arose at the grand and high-profile White House Correspondents' Dinner tonight.
Shots broke out, and that's when guests looked at the open doorway, wondering if it was going to be followed by a lunatic running through and unloading.
Diving for the floor, one person shared how they squashed under the table with several other guests and sent what remained of their cheese salad starters flying in all directions.
Wine glasses were seen tumbling, and one woman says she lost her heels while chairs started to overturn, and half-drunk bottles of wine rolled across the red carpet.
For a few moments, some were seen lying under the table, and they continued to look at one another in silence. They kept asking each other the same question: Would there be more shots or not?
This is the moment that they managed to witness armed men flying in all directions. A sigh of relief that the Secret Service officers stepped in at the right time before all hell broke loose.
