Trump's table evacuated at White House Correspondents Dinner after loud sounds reported

Security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner evacuated the head table where President Donald Trump was supposed to sit after reports of loud sounds.

C-SPAN hosts suddenly cut away from their normal coverage of the dinner. Security officers with guns were shown scanning the area around the table. No reason was given right away for the evacuation.

People started screaming "USA! USA!" with others chanting. People started walking out "relatively calmly," C-SPAN commentators noted.

Protesters had also crashed the dinner before it got underway.
