WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Justice Department released high-resolution video showing the moment an armed man stormed past security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C. The footage, presented at slowed-down and sped-up playback speeds, captures the suspect passing through a security metal detector before accelerating toward the venue.

The video shows the suspect speeding up and reaching for a gun as agents were removing magnetometers, a moment the suspect exploited to quicken his approach. Frame-by-frame footage shows dust particles above the suspect, indicating a gun may have been fired, after which Secret Service agents raise their firearms. The video does not show a muzzle flash from the suspect's gun.

The footage was captured approximately 30 minutes into the dinner. Newly released footage also shows a Secret Service K9 unit alerting officers moments before the shooting at the venue.

"There's no evidence of friendly fire," said Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, addressing questions about the exchange captured on video.

Secret Service Director Sean Curran defended the agency's preparations for the event. "The site was set up perfectly," Curran said. The secure perimeter established for the event was never breached, and the president was evacuated without being directly threatened during the incident. Planners have suggested using the Washington Convention Center for future editions of the dinner to improve security arrangements.

The release of the footage follows three attempted attacks on President Trump: one at an outdoor political rally, one at a private golf course, and one in a hotel basement. The alleged suspect in the assassination attempt is Cole Allen.
