President Trump was rushed from the ballroom of the Washington Hilton this evening after a gunman apparently opened fire
outside the security perimeter of the ballroom.
Trump, along with First Lady Melania Trump, was there for the White House Correspondents Dinner,
an annual event in Washington that draws top officials from all branches of the government.
It had been the first time he'd ever attended the dinner.
The Secret Service says Trump is safe.
He is back at the White House now.
All of the Secret Service protectees at the dinner are safe, according to the agency.
That includes Vice President J.D. Vance, as well as many members of the cabinet.
The dinner has since been called, canceled for the night,
and Trump will apparently be speaking from the White House press briefing room shortly.
The ballroom was packed to capacity with government officials, journalists, and celebrities.
Many people from NPR were there, including.
White House correspondent Franco Ordonez, who's here with me in studio.
