检察官公布了据称袭击者科尔·托马斯·艾伦的监控录像,画面中他被圈出,拍摄于4月25日周六白宫记者晚宴枪击事件发生前不久。

美国华盛顿特区检察官吉恩·皮罗周日表示,上周末在白宫记者晚宴上遭枪击的特勤局特工,是被被控企图暗杀唐纳德·特朗普总统的嫌疑人发射的霰弹枪击中的。
“我们现在可以确认,来自被告的莫斯伯格泵动式霰弹枪鹿弹的弹丸,缠绕在了这名特勤局官员防弹背心的纤维上,”皮罗在接受CNN记者杰克·塔珀的《国情咨文》节目采访时说道。
皮罗所在的华盛顿特区检察官办公室在袭击发生后对科尔·托马斯·艾伦提起了多项指控。
“这毫无疑问是他射出的子弹,”她补充道。
CNN上周对皮罗办公室公布的酒店监控录像以及枪击发生时宴会厅内的音频进行的分析,无法明确确定艾伦开枪的具体时间或是否确实开了枪。但音频分析显示,事件期间总共开了六枪,这与执法部门最初的说法一致:艾伦开了一枪,一名增援警员随后开了五枪。
皮罗表示,事件的更多监控视频“将会公布”。她还透露了艾伦在冲破安检点的执法人员之前的几分钟行踪的新细节。
在视频中,一名执法部门的缉毒犬及其训导员查看了艾伦进入的一扇门内的情况。这只狗短暂进入了门内,但目前尚不清楚具体看到了什么。
“他走进那个房间是为了脱掉身上的长外套,”皮罗告诉塔珀,并重申道,“他当时穿着一件深色长外套,因为他需要隐藏那支莫斯伯格泵动式霰弹枪。”
皮罗表示,这只缉毒犬是“炸弹探测犬”。

前美国特勤局特工、CNN特约撰稿人乔纳森·瓦克罗表示,这种狗接受的训练是嗅探“高爆炸药”,但不太可能被训练识别霰弹枪弹壳里的火药气味。
“这些警犬是根据任务特定部署的。当时的任务是寻找可能伤害普通民众或总统的高爆炸药或爆炸装置,而非寻找弹药,”他说道。
尽管艾伦最初被指控在暴力犯罪中开枪,但随着大陪审团调查向可能的起诉推进,他的指控可能会增加或变更。
“目前只是初步指控,调查仍在进行。如果政府掌握更多证据——我向你们保证他们会的——指控就会更新,”代理司法部长托德·布兰奇周日在接受NBC《与媒体见面》节目采访时表示。
皮罗表示,大陪审团将于5月8日举行初步听证会。
尽管艾伦所写的所谓宣言并未将特朗普列为目标,但皮罗称她的办公室有足够证据将特朗普认定为“明确无误”的目标。
“我们有大量证据表明了他的意图,以及他之后的所有行为:比如,追踪总统的行踪,在活动当天前往酒店时,用手机查询‘总统是否在宴会厅了?总统就座了吗?晚宴几点开始?’”她说道。
她继续说道:“这很清楚——总统是目标。别搞错了,不仅仅是那份宣言,还有他的行动。”

皮罗淡化了有关艾伦精神失常的说法,称艾伦“远非精神失常——他很聪明……这家伙没有出现精神病性发作”。
她还驳斥了因自己曾是特朗普政府成员而成为艾伦潜在目标,因此应当回避此案的说法。
“绝对不会……我起诉此案的能力与我曾在政府任职毫无关系,”她说道。

Secret Service agent ‘definitely’ shot by suspected gunman at last weekend’s correspondents’ dinner, US attorney says

Prosecutors released video showing the alleged attacker, Cole Tomas Allen, circled, moments before the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, April 25.
US Attorney for DC
US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Sunday that the Secret Service agent who was shot at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last weekend was hit by a shotgun blast from the suspect charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump.
“We now can establish that a pellet that came from the buckshot, from the defendant’s Mossberg pump action shotgun, was intertwined with the fiber of the vest of the Secret Service officer,” Pirro said during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Pirro’s DC US attorney’s office filed several charges against Cole Tomas Allen following the attack.
“It is definitely his bullet,” she added.
A CNN analysis of hotel surveillance video released by Pirro’s office last week, coupled with audio taken from inside the ballroom during the shooting, does not definitively conclude when or whether Allen fired a shot. But the audio analysis does indicate that six shots total were fired during the incident, which aligns with initial statements by law enforcement that Allen fired one shot, while a responding officer fired five more.
Pirro said that additional surveillance video of the incident “will be released.” She also offered new details on where Allen went in the moments before he charged past law enforcement officers at the security checkpoint.
In the video, a law enforcement K9 and its handler looked inside a doorway that Allen entered. The dog briefly enters the doorway, though it remains unclear what exactly was seen.
“He goes into that room to take off a long coat that he has on,” Pirro told Tapper, reiterating, “He’s wearing a long, dark coat because he has to hide the Mossberg pump action shotgun.”
Pirro said that the K9 is a “bomb detection dog.”

Jonathan Wackrow, a former US Secret Service agent and CNN contributor, said that the dog would have been trained to sniff for “high-order explosives” but was likely not trained to be able to pick up on the scent of the powder in a shotgun shell.
“These dogs are deployed mission-specific. The mission here was to find high-order explosives or explosive devices that could hurt the general public or the president, not to find ammunition,” he said.
While Allen faces an initial charge of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, his charges could expand or change as a grand jury investigation progresses toward a potential indictment.
“There’s initial charges and there’s an investigation, and to the extent that the government learns more things, I assure you they will, they will become charges,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said during an appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
There will be a preliminary hearing with the grand jury on May 8, Pirro said.
Though an alleged manifesto written by Allen does not name Trump as a target, Pirro said her office has enough evidence to establish him as the “very clear” target.
“We have a lot of evidence that indicates his intent and the fact that everything that he did thereafter, whether it was, you know, following what the president was doing, where he was going to the day of the of the event at the hotel, asking on his phone, ‘Is the president in the ballroom yet? Has the president sat down yet? What time will dinner be served?’” she said.
She continued: “This is clearly – the president is a target. And make no mistake, it is not just the manifesto, it is his actions.”

Pirro downplayed any argument of insanity, saying that Allen is “far from insane – he is brilliant. … This is a guy who had no psychotic break.”
She also dismissed the idea that she would recuse herself from the case since she was a potential target of Allen’s as a member of the Trump administration.
“Absolutely not. … My ability to prosecute this case has nothing to do with my being there,” she said.
