Donald Trump has been escorted from a press conference after a shooting outside the White House.

The US president was taken to the Oval Office by Secret Service agents while officers dealt with the situation outside.

After a few moments, Mr Trump returned and explained the situation.

"It was a shooting outside of the White House," Mr Trump said. "It seems to be very well under control ... But there was an actual shooting, and somebody has been taken to the hospital. I don't know the condition of the person."
