New surveillance footage shows a K9 unit flagging suspect Cole Tomas Allen seconds before he opened fire during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. US officials said Allen breached security and shot at a Secret Service officer in an alleged attempt to assassinate Donald Trump. He has been charged and remains in custody.
Washington: Newly released surveillance footage has shed fresh light on the attempted assassination plot during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, showing the suspect being flagged by a security K9 moments before the attack.
According to Jeanine Pirro, US Attorney for the District of Columbia, the footage captures suspect Cole Tomas Allen surveying the premises of the Washington Hilton ahead of the high-profile event.
Pirro stated that the video, already submitted in US District Court, shows Allen opening fire on a US Secret Service officer during what authorities describe as an attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump.
“ There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire,” Pirro said in a statement shared on X, adding that the footage also documents Allen’s movements in and around the hotel a day prior to the incident.
