"The footage shows the officer drew his weapon within two seconds of Allen's arrival. The officer fired multiple times at Allen - and in the general direction of other security personnel as Allen ran past them."
"Authorities have said in charging documents that officers heard 'a loud gunshot' as Allen ran through the security checkpoint holding a long gun. The documents say the officer was shot a single time in his protective vest."
Surveillance footage shows Cole Tomas Allen raising a shotgun towards a Secret Service officer, who fired at him at least four times. The incident occurred outside the White House correspondents' dinner. The video captures the moments from when Allen sprinted through a security checkpoint to when he fell at the top of a staircase. Authorities charged Allen with discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, although the footage does not show him firing. The officer involved was treated for injuries after being shot in the vest.
