President Donald Trump held a press conference at the White House about one hour after he and first lady Melania Trump were evacuated following gunshots breaking out at the White House Correspondents Dinner, held at the Washington Hilton.

“That was unexpected,” Trump began from the White House Briefing Room, praising what he called the swift work of Secret Service and law enforcement at “an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press.”
