The reactions to the shocking shooting at the White House<\/a> Correspondents’ Dinner are coming in, but I don’t think you’ll see too many like the one coming from UFC<\/a> boss Dana White.<\/p>\n

White is, of course, a close friend of the president and was invited to the event.<\/p>\n

In fact, he was even interviewed on the red carpet and talked about the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 that will take place at the White House on June 14.<\/p>\n

But the night took a turn when a gunman stormed a security checkpoint<\/a> and shot a Secret Service agent, who is, thankfully, expected to be okay.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there have been no reports of attendees being hurt, and President Trump, the first lady, Vice President JD Vance<\/a>, and other Trump administration officials were taken out of the room while guests hid under tables.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the ballroom where the dinner was taking place was filled with more than 2,000 people who were understandably very shaken by what had happened.<\/p>\n

However, Dana White was not one of those rattled by it.<\/p>\n

As guests were filing out of the Washington Hilton ballroom<\/a> and the surrounding area, White took a second to talk to some reporters on his way out about what he experienced.<\/p>\n

“It started getting noisy, tables started flipping over, guys running in with guns, and they were screaming ‘Get down,'” White said. “I didn’t get down. It was f–king awesome. I literally took every minute of it in, and it was a pretty crazy, unique experience.”<\/p>\n

White said he was sitting right in front of the head table, where the president, vice president and first lady, press secretary Karoline Leavitt<\/a>, White House Correspondents\u2019 Association members and others were seated.<\/p>\n

“Guys came in looking for shooters,” he continued. “They came toward our table. I thought the shooter was over by us or something.”<\/p>\n

I don’t think too many people would react to a situation of this magnitude the way Dana White did, but he’s certainly built differently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
