Wolf Blitzer is reporting that he went to the men's room, came out, "many shots fired" very close to him, cop threw him to the ground and jumped on him then herded Wolf and other men into the men's room.

Watching -- looks like some techs around the podium resetting the mikes and the teleprompter.

Trump was hustled out.

Couple of announcements program will resume.

No word if POTUS will return.
