President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were rushed off stage after a gunman opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner by Secret Service agents on Saturday evening.

Reuters reported that ​attendees at the dinner stopped talking and began screaming “Get down, get down!” immediately after the noises were heard.

Secret Service officers in combat gear ran into the dining room, as the President and ​the ⁠first lady had bent down behind the podium before being ​hustled out by officers.

About an hour after Trump was ⁠rushed from the event, he posted ​on Truth Social that a “shooter had been ​apprehended.” Adding, “Quite an evening in D.C. Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job.”
