Alleged WHCD Gunman Cole Allen
Feds Release Video of Suspect Shooting Secret Service Agent
Published
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is pulling back the curtain on a chilling alleged assassination attempt — and she says the video leaves little room for doubt.
Pirro announced Thursday her office has released footage already submitted in federal court that appears to show suspect Cole Allen shooting a U.S. Secret Service officer during what authorities are calling an attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
According to Pirro, the video doesn’t support any claims of confusion in the chaos — she says there’s “no evidence” the gunfire was the result of friendly fire.
Even more alarming … prosecutors say the footage also shows Allen scoping out the scene a day earlier inside the Hilton Hotel, suggesting the attack may have been carefully planned in advance.
Pirro made it clear this case is far from over, adding her office is working alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation to dig deeper and build the case.
The message from prosecutors is loud and clear — they’re treating this as a serious, targeted attack tied to one of Washington, D.C.’s highest-profile events.
