A suspected gunman believed to be from California opened fire outside the Washington Hilton, where the annual dinner of White House correspondents was being held, prompting a massive law enforcement response and the evacuation of President Donald Trump and other attendees.

Trump was not injured, and other top U.S. leaders were evacuated after what officials described as a security threat. Authorities have not reported any immediate injuries, but one law enforcement official said a shooter had opened fire. Trump and hundreds of guests were gathered. The event was abruptly canceled and is expected to be rescheduled.
