New video shows correspondents' dinner suspect shooting officer, top prosecutor says

(NBC News) Video released Thursday shows the suspect in the shooting during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner appearing to shoot a Secret Service officer as he sprints through a security checkpoint with a shotgun in his hands, authorities said.

Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, posted the video on X. She wrote that it shows Cole Tomas Allen shooting the Secret Service officer at the Washington Hilton hotel on Saturday.

“There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire,” Pirro said on X.

The video also shows Allen “casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack,” Pirro wrote.

The video shows no evidence of the guy discharging his weapon. It shows the exact opposite. Three officers are shown standing in the area he supposedly fires at. After he passes, all 3 are seen walking calmly in the direction he was running. Clearly, none of them were shot.
