Security incident disrupts Washington's elite gathering. An armed individual breached security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday evening, forcing the evacuation of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump from the Washington Hilton ballroom. Secret Service personnel swiftly responded, subduing the suspect who carried multiple weapons. One officer sustained a gunshot wound but was protected by body armor and remains unharmed. Trump confirmed the incident involved a lone shooter and indicated law enforcement was investigating the suspect's California residence. The ballroom was immediately secured as attendees sought cover beneath tables. No injuries were reported among dinner guests. The prestigious annual event, which raises funds for journalism scholarships, was disrupted during its proceedings.
