President Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Dinner after reports of gunfire sparked a rapid Secret Service response. The incident occurred 30 minutes into the dinner, just before guests were served their opening course. Secret Service agents evacuated the president and vice president, while armed personnel flooded the room. Most senior officials, including cabinet members and senior advisers, were placed in secure locations. The suspect was taken into custody near the event's main security screening area, but no details have been released about his identity or motive. The White House correspondents' Association initially suggested the event might resume, but within an hour, much of the room had cleared. The investigation remains ongoing and charges are expected to be filed by the Department of Justice within days.
