Comey was surprised by the news but kept talking to the agents, the source said. Another source said that once the news flashed on the screen, Comey was ushered into another room to meet with aides.

Comey was set to speak Tuesday night at an FBI recruiting event in Hollywood. But the source said that in the wake of his firing, Comey will not go forward with the program. TV coverage showed Comey boarding a jet at Los Angeles International Airport. The jet took off about 6 p.m. and was headed for Washington, D.C., according to the plane’s flight plan.

More than two dozen reporters were standing outside the Directors Guild of America, where the event was taking place, awaiting Comey.

The location of the event was kept secret from all but applicants who have been pre-approved, but KNX Newsradio reported it will be held at the Directors Guild of America theater on Sunset Boulevard, with doors opening at 4 p.m.

The event will be hosted by Deirdre Fike, the assistant director in charge of the bureau’s Los Angeles field office. Fike is the first woman in the FBI’s 100-plus-year history to lead the Los Angeles office.

Comey was expected to be the keynote speaker, with the agency saying he was “excited to meet with applicants as part of his commitment to diversifying the FBI.”
