It's April 26th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, Your Front Row, to the latest buzz. I'm Cory with the story. Secret Service agents rush President Trump and First Lady Melania out of the White House Correspondent's Association dinner Saturday night after A. Gunman fired a shotgun at security near the entrance. The suspect charged a checkpoint with multiple weapons, but got taken down quickly by brave agents before reaching the ballroom. Gun inside, including Trump, states safe, and the guy is now in custody. Officials call him a lone wolf actor with no accomplices. He rushed from about 50 yards away, caught on camera sprinting fast until security reacted. Agents are raiding his home in California right now as part of the probe. Inside the Hilton Ballroom with 2,600 guests, shots rang out, sparking screams of, get down. Officials hit the floor, waiters bolted, and security shoved cabinet bigwigs like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Interior Secretary Doug

Burgham to safety. Arm team stormed the stage, rifles ready, evacuating Trump, his wife and top officials one by one. This hits close after two assassination tries on Trump in 2024 during his campaign. One clipped his ear at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally in July from a 20-year-old shooter who got dropped. Another had a guy lurking with a gun at his Florida golf club, landing a life sentence. Same hotel where Ronald Reagan took a bullet outside in 1981. Trump hopes to reschedule this, his first such dinner as president, maybe in 30 days. Feds are digging deeper into the threat, but for now, the night's chaos ends with no injuries to leaders and a swift takedown keeping the peace.
