This is the shocking moment that President Donald Trump was rushed off stage after shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday evening.
Trump and first lady Melania Trump were evacuated from the event after a series of shots were heard inside the Washington Hilton, where the event was taking place.
Secret Service agents got Trump and others off the stage, while guests dived for safety as the chaotic scenes unfolded inside the hotel’s ballroom.
Shouts of “stay down” could be heard as attendees hit the floor and hid under tables for cover.
The president took to social media afterward, saying that a shooter had been apprehended, and that he had experienced “quite an evening.”
It was the first time Trump had attended the event as president, and the first time he had been in a decade.
