New Footage Shows How Trump Dinner Gunman Charged Through Security in Four Seconds

Prosecutors say the suspect researched the dinner, traveled by train and carried a shotgun, pistol, knives and ammunition in a month-long plot.

  • On Saturday, a Secret Service officer observed a gunman fire a shotgun toward stairs leading to a Washington Hilton ballroom where President Donald Trump, Cabinet members, and journalists had gathered for the White House Correspondents Association Dinner.
  • Investigators allege 31-year-old Allen, from California, spent a month planning the attack, departing Los Angeles on April 21 and traveling through Chicago before checking into the Washington Hilton on April 24.
  • A Secret Service officer fired five shots at Allen, missing him, after which authorities discovered a pump action shotgun, a.38 caliber pistol, and multiple knives in his possession.
  • Charged with attempted assassination, Allen faces detention while his lawyers secured 'unrestricted legal visits,' and defense counsel asked prosecutors whether Acting Attorney Blanche and United States Attorney Jeanine Pirro were targets.
  • Prosecutors contend there is 'no combination of conditions' ensuring community safety, calling the plot 'extreme political violence' and arguing the incident, avoided by 'good fortune,' could have killed people and inflicted serious damage.
