DOJ releases new video of WHCD shooting to dispel 'friendly fire' rumor

Pirro says the video provides evidence against the rumor that the Secret Service officer shot during the incident was injured by another officer and not Allen. There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire, she wrote. The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack. Allen was charged with one count of attempted assassination of the president of the United States, one count of interstate transportation of a firearm to commit a felony, and another count of discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.
