US EditionSecret Service agent was hit by gunfire from suspect at W.H. correspondents’ dinner, sources say
Investigators say the injured agent fired five times and are still examining whether the suspect or friendly fire caused the wound.
- A federal review of witness and agent statements indicates Cole Tomas Allen likely shot the Secret Service agent during the April 25 incident at the Washington Hilton, as officials have largely ruled out friendly fire.
- The shooting occurred at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner when Allen breached a security barrier, prompting Secret Service personnel to engage at about 8:30 p.m. on April 25.
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the wounded agent fired five times at Allen, while checks of other Secret Service weapons confirmed they were never fired.
- The FBI has not recovered the bullet fragment that struck the agent's vest, leaving investigators unable to say for certain whether the armed attacker shot the officer or how he was injured.
