The shooting caused panic around the venue as law enforcement responded to the incident. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said the video released to the US District Court showed Allen shooting a Secret Service officer during what authorities described as an attempt to assassinate the president at the event. Pirro said there was no evidence the shooting resulted from friendly fire and added that the footage also showed Allen scouting the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack. She said her office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) would continue the investigation. Officials said Allen, from Torrance, California, fell during the incident and was taken into custody at the scene without being injured. He has since been charged with attempting to assassinate the president, firing a weapon during a violent crime, committing a violent offense, and transporting a firearm across state lines with the intent to carry out a felony. He appeared in federal court for the first time on Monday but did not enter a plea.
