It's April 26th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today. Your AI-powered source for all things entertainment. UFC CEO Dana White dropped jaws with his take on the shooting at the White House Correspondence dinner last April 25th, 2026. Sitting front row near President Trump, he called the chaos freaking awesome. Eyes wide, taking it all in as tables flipped and agents swarmed with. Guns drawn. Under Service Hustle Trump, Vice President JD Vance, First Lady Melania Trump, and others right off the stage. Attendees scrambled under tables while law enforcement locked down the ballroom at the Washington Hilton, exchanging fire with the suspect at A. Checkpoint. Trump hid truth social quick, saying the shooter was apprehended and praising the brave response. He pushed to let the show roll on, guided by cops, though the night flipped completely from plans. Now officials ID the guy is 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen from Torrance, California, a teacher packing a shotgun, handgun, and knives.
Acting AG Todd Blanche says, preliminary probe points to him targeting administration folks with a manifesto and anti-Trump post surfacing. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and police confirmed he acted solo, nicking one secret service agent before getting nabbed. White story hits different after urging Trump to quit the race post his own rally scare last year. Another wild DC pulse that lingers.
