Trump evicted from reporters’ dinner venue

Trump and the first lady were escorted off the stage by Secret Service agents just minutes into the annual White House correspondents’ dinner.

There is no news of anyone being injured, journalists say Trump is safe. A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that a shooter opened fire.

Secret Service and other officials swarmed the banquet hall of the Washington Hilton as hundreds of guests huddled under tables.

“Get out of the way sir!” Someone shouted. Others screamed for silence.

The annual event is a celebration of press freedom, but has come under scrutiny due to strained relations between the Trump administration and the media.
