(FOX NEWS) -- President Trump on Monday was abruptly escorted away from the White House briefing room just a few minutes after taking the podium for a press briefing, but quickly returned to tell reporters, "There was a shooting outside of the White House."
Describing what he knew about the situation, the president said it “seems” a person was shot by Secret Service and had been taken to the hospital.
Several minutes after initially taking the podium, someone – who appeared to be a Secret Service agent – told the president something before Trump stopped and walked out of the room.
