Live Updates: Trump Rushed Out of Dinner Amid Reports of Shots Fired

Secret Service officers at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where Trump was set to speak, rushed the president out.

President Trump was rushed out of the White House correspondents’ dinner on Saturday night after several loud bangs were heard, and the Secret Service officers with guns drawn sprinted through the aisles to reach the president.

According to the White House press pool, a group of reporters who travel with the president, a member of the Secret Service shouted, “Shots fired.” There was no sign the president was hit.

Guests were about five minutes into the dinner hour when a commotion could be heard toward the back of the ballroom. Security officials then sprinted through the aisles toward the stage where the president was seated. Gasps were heard and then hundreds of attendees dropped under their seats at their tables.

Security officials with weapons drawn emerged on the dais as the president and the first lady, Melania Trump, were quickly escorted out.
