Secret Service director and prosecutors address shooting at White House Correspondents' Dinner

Secret Service Director Sean Curran denied that a wounded agent was shot by friendly fire, stating the agent was shot at point-blank range by suspect Cole Allen with a shotgun. Prosecutors released video evidence Thursday showing Allen rushing toward the security checkpoint with a weapon and exchanging fire with a Secret Service officer, with the US Attorney stating there is no evidence of friendly fire. Allen, who prosecutors say was casing the hotel, was subdued and charged in connection with the incident at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night attended by President Trump and administration officials.
