TL;DR Summary

New CCTV footage released by prosecutors shows the four chaotic seconds when a gunman sprinted through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, triggering a security response as President Trump attended. Prosecutors say Cole Tomas Allen carried a shotgun, handgun and knives and had casing the venue the day before; he is charged with attempting to assassinate the president and other firearms offenses. A Secret Service officer was wounded but protected by a ballistic vest, and prosecutors and defense lawyers differ on some details of whether the officer was hit by the suspect or by others.
