Donald Trump and first lady Melania were dramatically evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night, less than 30 minutes after arriving.
It was unclear what happened, but there were reports of a shooter. Attendees described hearing loud sounds and Secret Service agents yelling.
A White House aide said Trump was safe after a freelance photographer working for Reuters heard four to six loud bangs in the hotel but not in the immediate vicinity of the dinner.
Multiple media reports said there was a gunman.
Dinner attendees immediately stopped talking and people started screaming “Get down, get down!”
Hundreds of guests took cover under tables as Secret Service agents in combat gear ran into the dining room. Trump and the First Lady had bent down behind the dais before being evacuated by security personnel.
Many of the 2,600 attendees took cover while waiters fled to the front of the dining hall.
Shortly before being escorted off the stage by security, Melania Trump appeared to react to something in the crowd and had a concerned look on her face, according to a live feed from C-SPAN.
