Present at the Correspondents’ Dinner from WashingtonDana White, UFC boss and friend of his Donald Trumpgave startling testimony about Saturday night’s shootings.

A prominent figure in the sports world, Dana White is the head of the powerful UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), the most prestigious mixed martial arts league. Close to Donald Trump, he was present at the Washington gala on Saturday when a gunman opened fire.

While leaving the reception hall under the protection of police forces, the businessman gave a rather surprising testimony about this event that could have taken a tragic turn. The attacker was quickly immobilized by law enforcement.

“What happened? All of a sudden, there was a hellish noise. People were knocking over tables, some armed guys ran in shouting ‘Get down!’ I didn’t throw myself to the ground, it was absolutely brilliant. I enjoyed every moment. It was a unique and completely crazy experience,” he explained to USA Today, noting that he was seated at a table directly in front of the president.

At that point in the evening, Dana White still didn’t have all the details of the man’s armed attack.
