The video Pirro released shows the Secret Service officer firing his handgun. None of the five 9 mm rounds that he shot struck Allen, according to officials.

Prosecutors have said the Secret Service officer who was shot was wearing a ballistic vest.

There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire,” Pirro said on X.
After seeing the video, I'm like....



*That agent who missed five times needs some serious training on the range and in crisis firearm training.

That’s embarrassing that our secret service has the same level accuracy as teen thugs in BR.

Agent should be fired and I’d probably fire his boss for allowing such incompetence to exist.

I’d put money that any gun owning poster goes at least 1/5

It's amazing that he didn't hit any of the officers behind the suspect.

I give a ton of respect to the agent on the golf course a couple years back who took down the sniper and Im sure some of the agents are competent, but there's no reason to believe the USSS is a high functioning organization right now.

How many pictures of women fumbling their firearms and being retained, agents freezing up or in this case missing five shots point blank do people need to see on the heels of Butler to acknowledge there's a huge friggin problem? Its only by the grace of God and the incompetency of a couple of the attempts that Trump is still with us.

If you freeze up in a shooting or miss those shots you have no business being on a presidential detail and again there should be special ops guys supplementing those teams until they get their **** together because this is going to continue to happen.

I don't want to be the guy that sounds like the crazy conspiracy theorist here, but my 9 year old could have made that shot.

It's things like this that make me question things for more than what it appears on the surface.

This is exactly what I thought when I saw the video.........how did he not hit anyone in that scenario.

The perp was hauling arse though

Very similar to the Ryan Routh attempt. Agent fired four rounds at Routh and missed all four.

Yea the secret service needs to be sidelined and rooted out top down.

The security failures are insane by them. Butler, the Trump golf course, this. They aren’t firing agents for incompetence and that’s a problem.

The agency needs to be cleaned out and special forces should become the detail until we can figure out who is competent with some field test.

It’s embarrassing to have a security detail fail over and over especially in today’s world of training and information.

Butler takes the cake for embarrassing because they left a roof wide open and then you had the fat girl fumbling her gun and just being useless in protecting the asset.

The golf course is up there because how does this guy know when the president was teeing off and how do you not have security around the entire property and then you miss and had to have a sheriff actually stop the guy.

Allen was armed with a Mossberg 12-gauge pump-action shotgun and a Rock Island Armory 1911 .38 caliber pistol, as well as knives, officials have said.


Dems are amateur hacks:
- Mossberg OK if on a budget
- Who buys a budget 1911 in .38? Especially for an attempted assassination while surrounded by with guards in body armor!
- What did he think he was going to do with multiple knives? Use them to deflect the bullets from a dozen SS agents and cops?

Perhaps. Then again, if I'm reading this right, he'd been hit in the vest by a shotgun blast. So, perhaps he deserves a little slack?

Supposedly, he was the one shot and was shooting as he fell to the ground

Well now - I've never tried to shoot a handgun while falling down backward from a 12 ga shot into my chest at close range.

I suspect that could be a distraction tho =

In the agents defense, he didn't know he was firing blanks.

The perp was lucky to hit anyone, the he was running and not really aiming. It looks like he was more likely to hit the agent standing beside the shooting officer.

I wish the shotgun muzzle blast showed up.
