White House Correspondents' Dinner Evacuation

President Donald Trump and other senior US leaders were evacuated from the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night following an unspecified threat. There were no immediate reports of injuries. As hundreds of guests took cover under tables, Secret Service personnel and other authorities rushed into the banquet hall. Shouts of "Out of the way, sir!" and calls to duck were heard, as reported by the AP news agency.

Reports of Gunshots and Security Measures

Several people in the crowd stated they heard what sounded like five to eight gunshots. The banquet hall, which was packed with hundreds of journalists, celebrities, and national leaders awaiting President Trump's address, was fully evacuated. Attendees were permitted to exit but were barred from re-entering, while National Guard personnel were deployed inside, and security outside the venue remained extremely tight.
