Federal prosecutors have released a video showing the moment authorities say an armed man with guns and knives tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in an attempt to kill President Donald Trump. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for Washington, posted the video Thursday on social media amid questions over whose bullet struck a Secret Service officer as Cole Tomas Allen ran through security with a long gun toward the gala packed with journalists, administration officials and others. Prosecutors had previously claimed the agent was shot in the bullet-resistant vest during the melee, but had not confirmed it was Allen who shot the agent. Pirro, however, said Thursday that there is no evidence that the officer was hit by friendly fire.
Amtrak is considering allowing people to store guns in lockboxes on most of its trains, which critics say would weaken security measures that instead should be strengthened in light of the shooting at last weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Two people familiar with the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that Amtrak hasn't abandoned the proposed plan despite Saturday's attack at the Washington, D.C., event. They say the Trump administration started pushing for Amtrak to make the change months ago. Authorities say a California man traveled by rail across the country with his guns intent on killing President Donald Trump and other administration officials.
