[Earlier] A shooter opened fire inside the hotel where President Donald Trump was attending the White House Correspondents' dinner Saturday night, according to a law enforcement official.

The President, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other top U.S. leaders were evacuated from the annual dinner and were reported to be uninjured.

Shots could be heard outside the ballroom, and pandemonium erupted inside the event as someone yelled, "Get down! Stay down!"

The Secret Service and other authorities swarmed the banquet hall at the Washington Hilton as guests ducked under tables by the hundreds.

“Out of the way, sir!” someone else yelled.

The shooter was reportedly neutralized, and President Trump posted to Truth Social about the incident:

"Quite an evening in DC. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended, and I have recommended that we “LET THE SHOW GO ON” but, will entirely be guided by Law Enforcement. They will make a decision shortly. Regardless of that decision, the evening will be much different than planned, and we’ll just, plain, have to do it again. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

It was Trump's first appearance as president at the dinner. Protesters had been outside the ballroom before the event. Many reporters were surprised that protesters made their way into the hotel amid the extremely tight security. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
