A gunman armed with multiple weapons charged a security checkpoint at the White House correspondents' dinner, attended by US President Donald Trump, forcing a swift Secret Service evacuation.

In this special episode of Trump 100, Mark Stone and James Matthews, who were inside the room as events unfolded, take you through what happened, how the security response played out in real time, and what the president said in the aftermath.

We explain what's known so far about the suspect and why the incident comes at such a sensitive political and diplomatic moment, just days before a major state visit.

You can watch all episodes on our YouTube channel.
