President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were rushed out of the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner after a series of loud bangs were heard during the event at the Washington Hilton on April 25, prompting attendees to drop to the floor. In a video from the event,  security moved quickly to secure the room.

According to the Associated Press, the sounds were confirmed gunshots, and that Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and his Cabinet members are all safe with no injuries. Trump said a shooter was apprehended in a social media post.
