DOJ Releases High-Res Footage of Cole Allen Shooting a Secret Service Officer During His Attempt to Assassinate Trump at the WHCD (VIDEO)

The Justice Department on Thursday released high-resolution video of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter sprinting past a Secret Service checkpoint and opening fire.

The newly released footage shows Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, sprint through a magnetometer metal detector and open fire at a Secret Service agent in the lobby of the Washington Hilton on Saturday night.

A police officer fired five shots at Cole Allen as he sprinted past security.

Attorney’s for Cole Allen argued the video does not show a muzzle flash.

Pirro however said there is zero evidence that a Secret Service agent was shot as a result of friendly fire.

Full statement from US Attorney Jeanine Pirro:

Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire.

The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack.

My office along with the FBI will continue this extensive investigation to bring Cole Allen to justice.

WATCH:

Cole Allen made his initial appearance in federal court in DC on Monday.

The 31-year-old was previously charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.

On Monday, Allen was hit with a total of 3 charges: Attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, transporting a firearm and ammunition with intent to commit a felony and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.

On Sunday, it was revealed that Cole Allen wrote a manifesto and expressed his hatred for “pedophile, rapist” Trump.

Cole Allen’s manifesto sounded like Democrat-media talking points. He called himself a ‘friendly federal assassin.’

“Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial,” Cole Allen wrote in the manifesto.

“I’m not a schoolkid blown up, or a child starved, or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes,” he wrote.

“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote.
