We were just starting to tuck into dinner. 
The president was at the head table uh along with members of the White House Correspondents Association and the first lady and the vice president when suddenly uh these Secret Service agents started running down um uh the middle of the ballroom here and yelling at everyone to get under our tables. 
And uh so we did that. 
members of the president's cabinet, top officials from the White House were um yanked out of the room a few minutes later. 
We stayed under the tables until we were told it was safe to get out. 
We still don't know what has happened outside. 
Um and and so at this point, no one really knows whether it's safe to leave, whether the dinner is going to continue.
