A dramatic security scare at a high profile Washington dinner has taken a troubling turn, with investigators now examining claims that a Secret Service agent may have been struck by 'friendly fire' during the chaos. The incident unfolded while Donald Trump and Melania Trump were attending a packed event, sending shockwaves through a room filled with senior officials and journalists.
The incident began when 31-year-old suspect Cole Tomas Allen allegedly sprinted through a security checkpoint inside a Washington hotel hosting a major political dinner. According to officials, he was carrying a shotgun and moved at speed past magnetometers before a loud gunshot was heard.
