Shane McMahon and Dana White were among those in attendance at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night.

The event was halted after gunshots were fired near the main security screening at the Washington Hilton in D.C., where the dinner was taking place. President Donald Trump and members of his cabinet were quickly evacuated by Secret Service agents.

Andrew Solender of Axios captured Linda McMahon, the current Secretary of Education, being evacuated along with Shane. White attended the dinner and recalled what he experienced to USA Today.

“Inside, the whole event just started getting noisy, tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns and they were screaming `Get down. I didn’t get down. It was f****** awesome. I literally took every minute of it in, it was a pretty crazy, unique experience. We were sitting right in front of the table, right in front of where the president was. Nobody got tackled but a guy came in looking for shooters and then came toward the table. I thought the shooter was by us or something.”

A suspect, Cole Thomas Allen, was taken into custody immediately after the incident unfolded.
