Security footage shows missed dog alerts before White House shooting

DOJ footage shows missed security dog alerts before shooting at WHCD A newly released video from the Justice Department has uncovered crucial details about the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner (WHCD). The footage reveals that a security dog alerted to Cole Tomas Allen’s presence twice, but these warnings went unnoticed, allowing the suspect to fire at a Secret Service officer before being detained. The video, shared by US Attorney Jeanine Pirro on social media platform X, shows Allen walking through the Hilton Hotel the night before the attack. In a chilling moment, the security dog reacts to Allen as he passes, signaling potential danger. However, despite these two distinct alerts, the handler fails to acknowledge the dog's warning, allowing Allen to continue his movement through the hotel. The footage captures the suspect armed with a shotgun, heading toward a security checkpoint where he shoots a Secret Service officer. The video highlights how Allen was moving through the hotel, appearing to “case the area” before the shooting. He can be seen walking through corridors and even passing through a gym in the hours before the more dramatic scene. The footage reveals Allen approaching the magnetometer checkpoint, where he charges past uniformed officers and agents, carrying a long-barrelled firearm. In a slow-motion clip of the video, a Secret Service agent fires three times at Allen, although police have confirmed that Allen was not shot. Instead, Allen was tackled and detained after a brief struggle with security personnel. The officer who was shot survived the attack, thanks to the protection provided by his ballistic vest. Pirro, in her statement, clarified that there is no evidence that friendly fire caused the shooting. She emphasized that the footage had already been provided to the US District Court for further legal action. Allen, a 31-year-old from California, has been charged with attempting to assassinate the president. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison. This latest video offers crucial insight into the incident, showing the missed warnings and the sequence of events that allowed the shooter to carry out the attack.
