US Attorney Jeanine Pirro just released footage of the wannabe assassin, Cole Allen, rushing through the Secret Service security checkpoint as he attempted to get to President Trump.
Pirro points out that the rumors of the agent being shot be friendly fire are unsupported by the video.
Here’s what she wrote:
Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire.
The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack.
My office along with the @FBI will continue this extensive investigation to bring Cole Allen to justice.

The most impressive thing to me is how fast that officer unholstered his gun and began firing when he saw the shooter running through the magnetometer.
