Multiple web search results report that shooting occurred at the White House Correspondents' Association reception involving Donald Trump. One web search result states, "President Donald Trump was swiftly escorted off the stage by Secret Service after gunshots were heard at the venue for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, DC." Another web search result directly repeats the claim: "US President Donald Trump is still at the annual White House Correspondents' Association reception, where a shooting occurred, the White House press pool accompanying the US leader reported." This indicates multiple independent reports of the event.

The claim is directly supported by a web search result citing the Associated Press: "The Associated Press news agency reported that neither the US president nor Vice President JD Vance were harmed in the incident." This constitutes corroboration from a specific news agency report found in the search results.

Two separate web search results report that the press pool remained at the Hilton hotel, indicating the US president had not departed when the incident occurred. One source states, "The press pool was still at the Hilton at 8:56pm, indicating that Trump had not yet departed the venue by that time." Another source mentions the evacuation from the "Washington Hilton hotel," supporting the context of the location and timing.
