UFC CEO Dana White was “just a few feet away” from President Trump when members of the Secret Service and local police “rushed into the ballroom at the Washington Hilton after a shooter opened fire ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.” White attended the event as a guest of Trump, and he was “seated at a table alongside representatives from Paramount Skydance.” White said that he “didn’t exactly know what was happening at that moment.” White added, “Inside, the whole event just started getting noisy, tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns and they were screaming ‘get down!’” White: “I didn’t get down. It was f*cking awesome. I literally took every minute of it in. It was a pretty crazy, unique experience” (MMA FIGHTING, 4/26).
