President Donald Trump was rushed from the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel on Saturday night after gunfire erupted and a security scare unfolded, according to multiple reports.
The incident occurred during the annual gala celebrating the First Amendment, where journalists and political figures gather to support press freedom and journalism scholarships. Trump, still in his tuxedo from the formal event, was evacuated by Secret Service agents after loud bangs were heard and a man was seen charging a security checkpoint.
Trump addressed reporters afterward, stating that a man “with multiple weapons” had approached a security post and was apprehended by officers. He confirmed that one Secret Service agent was shot but survived due to wearing a bulletproof vest.
The White House identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen from California, who is now in custody. Authorities have not publicly labeled the incident as an assassination attempt, though Trump has faced multiple security threats in recent years.
