Multiple reports flooded the internet Saturday night alleging that shots had been fired at the White House Correspondents dinner.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were in attendance for the first time under the current presidential administration.
Video published online along with the unconfirmed shooting reports show the president and the first lady being rushed out of the room.
Federal agents were seen with their guns drawn on the scene as well.

Reacting live on CSPAN, Michael Dubke — a former White House communications director — found out about the reports live on air and immediately informed the viewing audience.
“Just a second, we have an issue here at the head table of the White House Correspondents Dinner… It looks like the head table has been evacuated,” he said.
Multiple angles of the head table Trump was seated at show the president and First Lady being rushed off stage.
Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Brent Scher, reporting from the dinner, claimed that he heard “[w]hat sounded like gun shots” and saw “one person… pulled by secret service from the room limping.”
