White House

US Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro shared a video of Cole Allen shooting a Secret Service officer and preparing for an apparent attack on the president.

“I don’t know how they do it. I wouldn’t want to do it, but it takes people like this to make our country great,” Trump stated in reference to the Artemis II crew.

Contrasting statements have raised the question of who fired the round that struck the Secret Service officer during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

Rubio called the shooting an “unfortunate situation” that an individual could disrupt the important event, and said, "That’s kind of the world we live in right now.”

The state visit, by far the most high-profile and consequential of Charles' reign, marks the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence from British rule.

US Magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh ordered Allen detained while the case moves forward. Sharbaugh scheduled another hearing over Allen's continued detention for Thursday.

Asked if he believed he had been a target, Trump did not directly respond, instead focusing on the content of the “radicalized” suspect’s manifesto. 

The fact that some attendees could hear the shots fired at a Secret Service agent underscored vulnerabilities, even if federal agents appeared to carry out their plan to protect the president.

A law enforcement official told Reuters that the suspect had written an anti-Christian manifesto, in which he called himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin.”
