The round that struck a U.S. Secret Service officer outside the ballroom where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was taking place was not friendly fire, multiple senior law enforcement officials have told CBS News.
The man accused of opening fire at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner railed against Trump administration policies and referred to himself as a “Friendly Federal Assassin” in writings sent to family members minutes before the shooting.
A man armed with guns and knives stormed the lobby outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attended by President Trump and multiple senior U.S. leaders, rushing toward the ballroom before Secret Service agents swarmed him and took him into custody.
