A "lip-reading" expert has revealed how Vice President JD Vance reacted as a would-be assassin attempted to carry out an attack at a Washington DC dinner.
Gunshots were heard at the hotel where the official White House Correspondents' Dinner was being held, where Donald Trump was preparing to address senior American journalists on Saturday evening.
And dramatic footage from the scene showed personnel rushing to the scene to pull Trump, his wife, Melania, and several other senior administration officials.
Secret Service members also got behind the vice president and pulled him from his seat as chaos unfolded.
According to “forensic lip reader Nicola Hickling, a bodyguard apparently approached Vance shouting: 'Run, get the hell out of here' .
The vice president responded, "What's going on? I'm leaving," before rushing off the stage.
Officials said the attacker was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and several knives when he stormed a security checkpoint near the ballroom.
Trump later posted photos of the shooting suspect lying face down on the carpeted floor, shirtless. US media identified him as Cole Thomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California.
Another first-time guest escorted from the scene was Erika Kirk, the wife of right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk, who was murdered on a college campus in September.
Erika could be seen crying as she left the scene, telling a bodyguard: "I just want to go home."
