Contrary to initial reports, there was no shooting at the 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner. Actor Zachary Levi, a guest at the event, described a 'commotion' that occurred during the evening, but law enforcement and event organizers confirmed no shots were fired.
Levi, known for his role in 'Shazam!', told reporters that he heard a loud noise and saw people moving quickly, leading to confusion. 'It was a moment of panic, but it turned out to be nothing more than a dropped tray or a similar disturbance,' he said.
The White House Correspondents' Association issued a statement clarifying the incident: 'We can confirm there was no security threat or shooting at the dinner. The commotion was caused by a minor accident, and the event continued without further incident.'
Levi later joked about the misunderstanding on social media, saying, 'Glad it was just a clumsy waiter and not something worse. The dinner was wonderful otherwise.'
