VIDEO/ Here's how the shooting happened at the dinner with President Donald Trump

This video circulating in foreign media and social networks shows the moments of the shooting at the annual event held at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where Donald Trump attended for the first time as president.

Hundreds of journalists, media personalities, and government officials were present.

The gunman, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, ran into the hotel lobby, trying to get past security officers and metal detectors, at around 12:35 a.m.

Loud explosions were heard, prompting security personnel to immediately escort the president and other officials from the scene.

Hundreds of guests stayed for about an hour before the ballroom emptied.

Trump told reporters afterward: "I can't imagine a more dangerous profession," as he reflected on several attempted shootings over the past three years. /CNA
