Donald Trump was evacuated from the stage after gunfire erupted at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, with suspect Cole Tomas Allen taken into custody.
The incident occurred as the annual media gala was underway, prompting an immediate security response. Secret Service agents rushed the former president to safety as attendees scrambled for cover. Law enforcement officials later confirmed the arrest of Allen, whose motives remain under investigation.
"The individual is in custody, and there is no ongoing threat," a Secret Service spokesperson stated. Details about Allen are scarce, but investigators are probing his background and any potential connections. The White House Correspondents' Association condemned the violence, calling it an attack on press freedom.
