Don't know about prior knowledge but they don't look to be the least bit sad or upset.

A shooting would leave me a little scared, since the reality is it would make me aware that anyone at any time could be a shooter.
Its almost as if they not only were not nervous, but happy it happened?
Side note is that all 2600 meals got frozen and donated to shelters.

Are there any reports of what happened to the food not consumed at the WHCD?

Yes — it's a genuinely heartwarming outcome from a chaotic night. The Washington Hilton donated roughly 2,600 meals that went unserved after the dinner was cut short by a gunman.
The shooting took place about half an hour after the dinner began, meaning attendees had only received a salad course before the room was thrown into chaos, leaving around 2,600 plates of prime Chateaubriand steak and Maine lobster untouched.
Hotel staff freeze-dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before donating them to two shelters for abused women and children. WHCA President Weijia Jiang gave a public shoutout to the hotel staff for working through the night under difficult circumstances.
The remaining produce items were composted and sent to farms for agricultural use. And in a lighter note, the livestream captured some attendees grabbing bottles of wine on their way out of the venue.

If nothing else it distracts people from the Epstein files and the disaster that's Iran.
There's a diversity of "explanations" (aka "conspiracy theories") w/ varying degrees of implausibility.
Our OJT CIC flails embarrassingly,
first by punishing our trade partners with $tariffs, insulting our NATO allies,
then cutting them out of the loop on Trump's decision to wage War on Iran again (second time this term),
and then acts imposed upon when NATO allies decline to join in to help clean up the mess Trump created without even the courtesy of consulting them.
And the Strait of Hormuz remains contested.
Trump pretends to professionalism / expertise.
He's a bumbling incompetent.
Anyone that contests that, how can we explain Trump's claiming lowering consumer prices his top priority,
and then sending them spiraling upward? "Competence"? By Trump standards perhaps.
