Questions swirl over whether Secret Service agent was hit by friendly fire at WHCD

newsApr 28, 20261832

Acting Attorney General said law enforcement exchanged fire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and one Secret Service agent was struck by a bullet. Video and news reports show guests hid under tables as Secret Service agents surrounded Donald Trump and pulled him from the dais, with Trump briefly dropping then getting back up. David Pakman analyzed event footage and argued the video does not match Trump’s later description that he "didn't make it easy" for agents. Officials and analysts are now focused on whether the wounded agent was hit by friendly fire or by the attacker because that finding will shape criminal charges, accountability, and future protective tactics.

Is it true the Secret Service agent was hit by “friendly fire“?

A Secret Service agent shot another agent and they're covering it up

MSM is working overtime to sanewash what happened. “Trump survived assassination” is what I keep reading from corp news. Shooter was one floor above the ballroom where WHCD was being held, and shooter didn’t shoot apparently. If he did, he’d be dead. The agent who got shot is likely friendly fire.

"Secret Service agents fired five shots at the man who tried to assassinate Donald Trump but failed to hit him & may have accidentally struck one of their own,the acting attorney general revealed" So this is why Blanche said "Evidence Recovery isn't an exact science"😂 COVERUP from the keystone cops

And yet, interestingly, not being charged with the shooting of a Secret Service Agent. Which means someone else did that, other than Allen. Hmmmm.

If he had shot the Secret Service agent, it would have been reflected in the court charges. It was not. Clearly friendly fire.

OK, here's one. Seems he took a shot as he ran through then dove to the ground when the secret service agent shot back. nypost.com/2026/04/27/u...

The next night, Allen attempted to get into the correspondents dinner through a security checkpoint a floor above the ballroom where the event was taking place, Blanche said. “He ran through the magnetometer, holding a long gun. As he did so, US Secret Service personnel assigned to the checkpoint heard a loud gunshot,” Blanche said. “One Secret Service officer was shot in the chest, but was wearing a ballistic vest that worked.”

It's crazy how Melania can call Jimmy a coward while her pedo husband hides behind Secret Service agents.

It is now becoming clear that the Secret Service Agent who got shot was hit by friendly fire and that the WHCD farce was just levels of pure incompetence.

In an interview after WHCD Trump said that he "didn't make it easy" on Secret Service agents who tried to rush him away from the event. He claimed he was fighting to stay and figure out what was going on. David Pakman showed the video footage doesn't line up w. Trump's bragging. youtu.be/WsUBlEslwA8

“Law enforcement officers exchanged fire with him, and one Secret Service agent was struck by a bullet…” What weapon discharged the bullet that hit the officer? Why won’t anyone tell us?

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but they said the Secret Service agent who was shot fired five times at the suspect and didn’t hit him once? Was he a fucking stormtrooper?

If true, this is SO much worse than it being staged. A Secret Service agent was shot, possibly by "friendly fire," and all of the guests and government officials there were placed at risk.

Noted. I thought it was reported that a Secret Service agent was shot but not harmed because of a bullet-proof vest.
