President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were rushed out of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner after an armed individual opened fire. Washington's biggest night of the year descended into chaos as gunshots rang out in the lobby of the Washington Hilton hotel around 8:15 p.m. The President and First Lady were immediately taken to a secure location, followed by cabinet members. The lavish event had just begun when a suspect armed with a "powerful weapon" forced their way into the hotel lobby. Thousands of guests were forced to hide under tables and chairs as Secret Service agents entered the hall, instructing everyone to take cover. Hundreds of journalists began calling in to report on the developments. A Secret Service agent was shot, but according to a source for the Daily Mail, the agent was wearing a bulletproof vest. No injuries have been reported, and the President later confirmed that the shooter had been "apprehended." He and the First Lady then left the hotel and returned to the White House. The President was attending the event for the first time since 2011 and was expected to be honored and deliver a speech. The Secret Service and other authorities flooded the banquet hall at the Washington Hilton as hundreds of dining guests hid under tables. "Get out of the way, sir!" someone shouted, while others yelled for everyone to get down. "The U.S. Secret Service, in coordination with the Metropolitan Police, is investigating a shooting incident near the main metal detector checkpoint area at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. One person is in custody," a White House official told the Daily Mail. The condition of those involved is not yet known, and authorities are actively assessing the situation.
