Al Jazeera English Shots Fired At White House Correspondents’ Dinner | Trump Evacuated, Suspect In Custody

US President Donald Trump has been evacuated after gunshots were fired during the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC.

Security personnel swiftly moved the president and key officials to safety as chaos briefly unfolded inside the ballroom. Authorities later confirmed that a suspect had been apprehended and no injuries were reported.

The incident occurred at one of Washington’s most high-profile gatherings, attended by political leaders, journalists and public figures. A heavy security cordon was quickly established around the venue as law enforcement began an investigation.

Despite initial plans to continue the programme, officials ordered the evacuation of attendees in line with security protocols. The president is expected to address the incident from the White House.

Questions remain over how a gunman was able to breach security at a heavily guarded event.
