US EditionTrump says Secret Service agent at dinner was not hit by friendly fire
The footage shows Cole Allen sprinting through a security checkpoint and prosecutors say the officer survived because a bullet-resistant vest stopped the shot.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the Secret Service agent injured during last Saturday's attack at the Washington Hilton was not hit by friendly fire.
- Prosecutors allege Cole Tomas Allen sprinted through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton last Saturday, attempting to assassinate Trump; U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro identified the shotgun used.
- Media reports speculated about friendly fire after an FBI affidavit noted a Secret Service officer was shot in the chest while wearing a ballistic vest, though the document did not specify the shooter.
- When asked about wearing a bullet-proof vest, Trump dismissed the idea, stating he would not want to look "20 pounds heavier," adding that wearing one would be "giving into a bad element."
- The shooting incident, part of a wider pattern of political violence in the United States, has revived concerns regarding the safety of the president and other top officials.
