Trump rushed off stage amid White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, guests take cover

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies responded to a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner that spurred President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump to be evacuated minutes after the vent began.

USA TODAY reporters inside the ballroom at the Washington Hilton hotel say they heard loud bangs that sounded like gunshots and chants of “USA.” Members of the press in attendance dropped to the floor.

Trump was attending the dinner for the first time in more than a decade – and his first time ever as president – on Saturday, April 25. He has repeatedly skipped the annual event, which brings together Washington’s most powerful and the reporters who cover them.

  1. Does this seem like a work to anybody else? Two dudes in the corner just start laughing and taking videos,one of the secret service members was just kinda looking around confused and it seems like it would be up his alley. I think he's trying to save face and trying to get more support becuase he's just getting desperate.

  2. What the Hell was that Asian woman doing with her fake acting? Central casting at the WH is suffering. Waving at no one and then all of the fake facial movements as if she’s part of anything special. 😂😂😂 Another B-movie comedy. He probably had to change his diaper and that’s the play to make it seem important.

  3. To all the idiots claiming the target was Trump, shut up. You have no idea all those journalists weren't the targets.

  4. The young girls expression to the side at all. Almost like oh my goodness, you shit your diaper let’s get you off stage.

  5. It's pretty standard of the sarcasm and negative comments towards our president especially when you hate America 🇺🇸
