This Just Happened — And the Video Proves Why “It Won’t Happen to Me” Is a Death Sentence
Yesterday, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro dropped raw, high-quality surveillance video straight from the U.S. District Court. It shows 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen’s attempted assassination of President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25 at the Washington Hilton.
Watch it. Really watch it.
Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

The footage is crystal clear:
- The day before — Allen is caught on camera casually casing the hotel, walking the hallways, testing doors, mapping his route like a predator stalking prey.
- The night of the attack — He sprints through the security checkpoint armed with a 12-gauge pump shotgun. A K9 alerts hard on him — the dog knows something is wrong — but the handler pulls the dog back. Seconds later Allen blasts past the magnetometers, levels his weapon at a Secret Service agent, and shoots him. The agent returns fire. Chaos. Allen is finally tackled before he reaches the ballroom packed with the President, First Lady, and hundreds of others.
This wasn’t a random lunatic. This was calculated. Planned. Executed with the cold precision of someone who had already decided the outcome.
And it almost worked — right in front of the best protective detail in the world.
This is why John Murphy’s “Just Get Home” course exists.
Because the bad guys don’t wait for a perfect moment. They create one. They leak pre-violence indicators days or minutes in advance — the “casing” walk, the sudden straight-line charge, the target glances, the weapon access — and most people miss every single one of them.
In Murphy’s college-level training you’ll learn to spot those exact leaks before the sprint starts. You’ll master real-world de-escalation that actually works under adrenaline — calibrated language, body positioning, and ego control that can shut down a threat without a shot fired. And if talk fails, you’ll train the decisive transition to stopping the kill with whatever tools you have: pepper spray, firearm, or hands.
The class doesn’t sugar-coat it. Violence is real. It’s coming faster than most Americans want to admit. And the 1-in-30 annual odds of becoming a violent crime victim don’t care if you’re the President or a soccer mom in Illinois.
