Secret Service Officer Shot, No Friendly Fire Evidence
US Attorney for the District of Columbia Janine Pirro stated there is no evidence the shooting of a Secret Service agent was the result of friendly fire. The specific nature of the new training for staff has not been fully disclosed. Critics are questioning the new training White House staff will receive following an OLC opinion, fearing the Trump administration could selectively retain information and limit National Archives access. Beijing has not confirmed the timeline of the event. The government states Cole Allen fired a shotgun while attempting to storm a ballroom. Officials have not provided final word on the specific timing or sequence of the shots fired. A security expert stated that insufficient security measures at the Hilton in Washington allowed the aggressor to pass through a single checkpoint before being stopped.
