President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., on Saturday evening following a sudden security breach. Agents from the Secret Service rapidly escorted the President, the First Lady, and other high-ranking officials from the banquet hall as loud bangs were reported near the venue.
The commotion triggered an immediate lockdown, with attendees seen taking cover under tables while security forces swarmed the area.

One individual was heard shouting, “Out of the way, sir!” as agents moved to clear the room.
