President Trump was just rushed off the stage during the White House Correspondents’ Association after reports of shots being fired.
Armed officers are heard yelling, “Stay down!”
The Secret Service and other authorities swarmed the banquet hall as guests ducked under tables by the hundreds. “Out of the way, sir!” someone yelled. Others yelled to duck.
CNN reports the shooter who opened fire in the lobby at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been confirmed dead, according to the Secret Service.
Donald Trump’s attendance at Saturday’s annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington for his first time as president is putting his administration’s often-contentious relationship with the press on full public display.
