The annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner had begun, according to AFP journalists present, when a commotion was heard at the entrance to the hall.
The video shows President Trump sitting at the head of the table as shots are fired, which initially do not cause any reaction.
"Shots fired," screamed the Secret Service agents.

Just a few seconds later, the customers seem to realize that an incident has occurred, with anxiety and horror clearly visible on Melania Trump's face.

Immediately, as seen in the video, heavily armed security agents quickly intervene and remove the president to stage left, while Melania, as seen in the video above, hides under the table. The music stops and other agents walk over the table and appear to point their weapons at the audience.

Trump reacted after the incident and said that the attack would not prevent him from winning the war in Iran.
"This incident will not stop me from winning the war in Iran," US President Donald Trump said at a press conference at the White House, following the failed attack on the Hilton Hotel in Washington, where he was scheduled to meet with reporters.
