Chaos unfolded at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday as gunshots rang out, prompting a swift evacuation of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump by Secret Service agents.

In the chaos, attendees were seen diving under tables as the agents rushed into the hall.

“I didn’t see anything in terms of the shooter...people were screaming and yelling,” recalled Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin, who was present at the event.

CNN reported that a suspect was shot and killed by officers with the U.S. Secret Service after the evacuation. Trump later addressed the situation on Truth Social, noting, “The First Lady, plus the Vice President, and all Cabinet members, are in perfect condition.”

An official stated that an officer was injured but is expected to recover well after being shot in a bullet-resistant vest.

The event will be rescheduled following the panic and disruption caused by the incident.

Trump described the evening as “quite an evening,” crediting law enforcement for a “fantastic job.”

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, who was near the shooter, called into the network to provide his firsthand account of the tense moment.

“I heard some loud noises, but...it was hard to know,” Raskin added, highlighting the confusion as guests reacted to the unfolding scene.
