Video released of armed man storming White House correspondents’ dinner
Credit: US Attorney for District of Columbia. Prosecutors have released a video showing the moment authorities say a man armed with guns and knives tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in an attempt to kill US President Donald Trump. Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for Washington, posted the video on social media amid questions over whose bullet struck a Secret Service officer as Cole Tomas Allen ran through security with a long gun towards the hotel ballroom packed with journalists, administration officials and others. Prosecutors had previously claimed the agent was shot in his bullet-resistant vest during the melee, but had not confirmed it was Allen who shot the agent.
