Indiana Republican Congressman Marlin Stutzman was among the attendees at the White House Correspondents' dinner when gunfire erupted. Stuttman, who represents Indiana's 3rd Congressional District, recalls the moment he heard four gunshots and made sure everyone else was safe. He credits security for his friend, U.S. Rep. Abe Hamadeh, who had a security detail nearby, for guiding them out of the room safely. The California man arrested for the shooting, 31-year-old Cole Allen, is set to make his first court appearance on Monday. Stoutman also expressed concerns about security at the hotel hosting the event.
