\n President Donald Trump was swiftly escorted off the stage by Secret Service after possible shots were fired at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner in Washington, DC, on Saturday.\n <\/p>\n
\n Vice President JD Vance and members of Trump\u2019s Cabinet who were also in attendance were also rushed out.\n <\/p>\n
\n A source told CNN that Trump is safe, while two sources said Vance is safely out of the dinner. According to an administration official, Cabinet members are OK as well.\n <\/p>\n
\n Several US Secret Service agents yelled, \u201cshots fired\u201d during the event, which is being held at the Washington Hilton, according to pool reports.\n <\/p>\n
\n Secret Service later said in a post on X that one person is in custody.\n <\/p>\n
\n Trump is in a secure location and has told officials that he intends to return to the dinner, according to a senior administration official.\n <\/p>\n
\n Trump took to the Truth Social to share that a \u201cshooter has been apprehended\u201d and applaud Secret Service and law enforcement officers for acting \u201cquickly and bravely.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n In a subsequent post a few minutes later, the president said he is returning to the White House after law enforcement officials requested that he leave the location. Trump added that he will give a press conference momentarily.\n <\/p>\n
\n CNN\u2019s Wolf Blitzer was \u201ca few feet away from (a gunman) as he was shooting,\u201d he said on air.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cAll the sudden a guy with a weapon, it was a very, very serious weapon, it starts shooting, and I happened to have been a few feet away from him as he was shooting,\u201d Blitzer said.\n <\/p>\n
