U.S. President Donald Trump was swiftly evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner held at the Washington Hilton hotel after a lone attacker discharged several gunshots inside the ballroom on Saturday night.
Guests at the high-profile event scrambled for safety, diving under tables and seeking cover as panic spread through the hall following the gunfire.
According to the president, a Secret Service agent was struck at close range during the incident but survived, thanks to a protective bulletproof vest.
