Sky News Washington correspondent Mark Stone said on air that there appears to have been a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
"Seems to be some sort of a shooting, what appears to be shots fired at the White House correspondent's dinner," Stone said during the live broadcast.

Stone, who identified himself as Sky's correspondent based in Washington, D.C., framed the segment as part of a packed broadcast that also covered an interview touching on Prime Minister Starmer and the U.S.-U.K. special relationship. He told viewers he would explain "why you can't hear the call" from that interview.
The broadcast also previewed a segment marking 100 days into Trump's presidency, returning to what Stone described as "the grassroots of this MAGA movement." Stone offered a blunt characterization of the political moment: "It feels a little bit like he's a king, not a president."
Developing — the nature and severity of the reported shooting at the Correspondents' Dinner remain unverified beyond Stone's on-air account.
