President Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Dinner after shots were fired Saturday afternoon. Videos from the scene showed Secret Service rushing Trump out of the Hilton Hotel in Washington DC where the dinner was being held.
The Associated Press confirmed that a shooter opened fire at the hotel where Trump was attending dinner. Reports indicate that the incident took place in the room just outside where Trump and others were seated for the dinner.
As of now, there are no reports of injuries. The Secret Service has taken charge of the building, and the Mayor of DC is on her way to the scene.
Trump reacted to the security incident with a post shortly after he was evacuated by Secret Service after the incident. “Law Enforcement has requested that we leave the premises, consistent with protocol, which we will do, immediately,” Trump wrote.
