Mentalist's Eyewitness: White House Shooting

0:00On April 2, 8, mentalist Oz Peroman had a front row seat to chaos at the White House correspondence dinner Saturday night. While performing mind tricks for President Trump, First Lady Melania and press secretary Caroline Levitt shots rang out. Peroman locked eyes with Trump as they both hit the deck, with Secret Service agents tackling the President right next to him. Peroman was in the middle of guessing the name of Levitt's soon-to-be-born baby, ripping paper to reveal it when the gunfire started. He dropped fast, facing stage left, while agents pulled Trump down hard from the other side. The whole thing went down on an elevated stage at the Washington Hilton. Peroman called the Secret Service response, effective, but intense, saying it felt like they were racing to stop more trouble. Trump later told CBS's 60 Minutes He Stay Calm, knowing how wild the world can be. The First Lady ducked down too, keeping everyone close. Turns out the shooter was a 31-year-old Californian, named Cole Thomas Allen, arrested after exchanging

Allen now faces charges for trying to assassinate the President, plus weapons violations, with no plea entered yet. Securities on high alert, but the dinner crowd got out safe.
