New CCTV shows Trump dinner gunman break through security checkpoint in seconds

Prosecutors have released new surveillance video showing suspected shooter Cole Allen storming past security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday (25 April).

In the video, 31-year-old Allen can be seen disappearing behind a door before rushing back out, a rifle in hand as he runs past guards. One officer quickly draws his service weapon and fires at Allen, with the suspect also appearing to take aim.

After the suspected shooter vanishes out of frame, other security guards rush to the scene, weapons drawn.

Allen has been charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump.
