Trump Evacuated Following Gunshots at Washington Hotel
President Trump is reported safe following an incident where shots were fired at him. During the White House Correspondents' Dinner, guests sought cover under tables as security forces, National Guard, and Secret Service personnel evacuated the area. Cabinet members were pulled out of the building one by one within one to two minutes of the incident. The ballroom, described as being the length of several football fields, typically lacks cell service due to the density of people. Security measures included magnetometers positioned in the hallways and outside the venue. Reporters noted a heavy presence of security agents during the incident. Security forces, including National Guardsmen and Secret Service personnel, evacuated attendees from the hotel ballroom. Local authorities established multiple blockades around the hotel to prevent vehicle-borne explosive devices.
