U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were urgently evacuated after gunfire was reported during a dinner event in Washington, D.C. The incident occurred on Saturday night at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner was taking place. Television footage showed Trump seated at the dining table when a loud noise was heard, prompting security personnel to surround him. While attempting to stand, Trump lost balance and fell as agents moved to secure him.

According to CNN, Secret Service agents quickly brought the situation under control and moved the president to a safe location. No injuries were reported among the First Lady or cabinet members. A senior official said Trump expressed a desire to return to the venue, but the Secret Service advised against it. The event, attended by journalists and officials, was thrown into panic as guests sought safety.

AP reported that a gunman was believed to have entered the hotel and opened fire, though his condition or fate remained unconfirmed. Trump later praised the Secret Service and local law enforcement for their swift response.
