Corinne Straight reports:
The Secret Service agent wounded at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner was likely shot by a colleague, not by the gunman. The White House has not released a “TWO SHOOTERS” post, but the day is young.
Cole Allen, a 31-year-old mechanical engineering graduate from Caltech, allegedly booked a hotel room at the Washington Hilton, packed a duffel bag with a shotgun, walked down ten flights of stairs to avoid security cameras, and sprinted toward the ballroom where the president and his cabinet were seated.
The agent fired five shots at Allen.
None of them hit Allen. Allen fell to the ground and was arrested. The agent was hit in his Kevlar vest. One of his colleagues is now suspected of having fired the shot that struck him.
