3. There's video of it in the Cable News forum.

In the video that saw, it looked like the SS and other security people were standing next to the entrance, but not right at it, not physically blocking it with their bodies. I could not see the actual entrance, but from the speed that Allen was running at, it seems like there was no physical barrier blocking the entrance.

Allen raced rapidly right past security. He was quickly followed by one man in uniform who looked to me like a police officer. That officer had his gun drawn and was shouting at Allen, who I could not see at that point in the video. The police officer was searching alone for a while before other security personnel joined him.

The video that I saw did not show Allen shooting the gun. It did not show the actual takedown of Allen, only his body on the floor, face down, after he was subdued.
