WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said a Secret Service agent shot April 25 at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner wasn't struck by friendly fire but was instead shot by the suspected gunman.
"They say it was not friendly fire," Trump told reporters on April 30 when asked who was responsible for shooting the agent. "That's what I heard. I heard that. They say it wasn't friendly fire. It was actually reported."
Trump's remarks come as a federal review of witness and agent statements have found evidence consistent with the alleged gunman, 31-year-old Cole Allen, shooting the Secret Service agent.
