Washington, D.C. —A major security incident disrupted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night after gunfire erupted outside the venue, prompting the evacuation of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and hundreds of attendees.
According to early reports from law enforcement officials, the shots were fired near a security checkpoint outside the ballroom where the annual dinner was being held. Witnesses inside the event described hearing loud bangs before Secret Service agents moved swiftly to secure the room, instructing guests to take cover.
President Trump, who had been on stage at the time, was immediately escorted away by agents. Vice President Vance was also evacuated moments later through a separate route. Officials confirmed that both men were unharmed.
Authorities said a single suspect attempted to breach the perimeter and was quickly subdued and taken into custody. Preliminary information indicates the individual was armed, though details about the weapons and motive remain under investigation.
At least one member of the security detail sustained injuries during the incident but is expected to recover. No other serious injuries have been confirmed as of this report.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, an annual gathering of journalists, politicians, and public figures, was canceled following the incident. Organizers said the safety of attendees remains their top priority.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service and local police, have launched a full investigation. Officials are working to determine whether the suspect acted alone and what, if any, specific targets were intended.
Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
