It was meant to be a glitzy Saturday night at a Washington ballroom featuring President Donald Trump, but the glamour was shattered by gunshots that left guests diving to the floor and the US leader bundled out by security personnel.
After the sound of shots, dinner attendees immediately stopped talking and people started screaming “Get down, get down!"
