White House Correspondents' Dinner Guests Raise Eyebrows as They Take Photos With Bottles of Wine During Shooting Chaos

Several guests at the White House Correspondents' Dinner seemed unconcerned after shots rung out at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night, April 25.

In footage of the aftermath, two women and a man were spotted posing for selfies with bottles of wine amid the chaos in the ballroom. Meanwhile, another blonde woman was caught grabbing abandoned booze from the table in front of her.

The video has gone viral, with netizens debating whether snatching the wine in such a serious situation was tasteless or fair considering the unidentified guests paid to attend the posh dinner.

"So, there you have press members STEALING wine bottles: this is who the press is! Repugnant!" one user wrote.

Another person added, "Just when you think they can't get any lower, they always do. Not shaken up, just another day and don't forget to grab the free booze. Sickening. I hope they identify these low lives so we can all know who they are!"

Meanwhile, someone else replied: "In all fairness … I would have grabbed a bottle or two on the way out as well."

"Is it stealing if it’s paid for already?!? LOL who cares! I’d rather them drink it than it go to waste," a fourth commented.

Echoing the aforementioned sentiment, another user wrote, "Bro they paid $350+ a plate and the night got canceled early, free wine tax refund is fair game."

As OK! reported, a gunman interrupted the glamorous event after attempting to take out Donald Trump and those in his orbit.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told NBC’s Meet the Press after the shooting: "We believe the suspect was targeting administration officials."

Suspect Cole Tomas Allen, 31, reportedly fired five to eight shots at the hotel on Saturday evening, leading the president and first lady to be whisked away.

Allen was armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives, according to D.C. Metropolitan Police Department interim chief Jeff Carroll.

"At this point, it does appear he is a lone actor, a lone gunman," Carroll told CBS News.

It has since been revealed that Allen sent a manifesto to his family in which he referred to himself as the "Friendly Federal Assassin" shortly before the shooting.

Referring to the 79-year-old president, Allen wrote, "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

"In order to minimize casualties, I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls)," he added.

The creepy manifesto continued: "I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that."
