🚨 BREAKING: Shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
President Trump was evacuated off stage by Secret Service after multiple gunshots were heard at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. The shots appeared to come from the hallway near the metal detectors, just outside the ballroom.
Trump remained inside the venue and was taken to a secure holding area. Vice President JD Vance and First Lady Melania Trump were also evacuated safely.
A Secret Service agent confirmed to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the shooter is dead. In a statement on Truth Social, Trump praised Secret Service and law enforcement for acting “quickly and bravely,” and said he has recommended they “let the show go on.”
The Secret Service confirmed it is investigating a shooting incident near the main screening area. More details to come.
