WHCA dinner shaken by shooting; Trump evacuated, gunman faces charges

A heavily armed man interrupted Washington's annual White House Correspondents Association dinner on Saturday, forcing the evacuation of President Trump and first lady Melania Trump and shaking up a crowd of journalists and government officials from both parties.

The gunman exchanged fire with law enforcement before being subdued as the Trumps and members of the Cabinet were rushed from the annual event at the Washington Hilton. Attendees immediately took cover under their tables. Some Cabinet officials stayed in the room after the shooting.
