Acting AG Declines to Identify Whether Friendly Fire Hit Secret Service Officer at WHCD
Justice Department investigators say Cole Allen fired the shotgun, and six shots were exchanged after he charged a security checkpoint, officials said.
- On Saturday, Cole Allen, 31, charged a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, firing a shotgun before being arrested by the Secret Service.
- Allen faces federal charges including attempted assassination of the United States president, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and transporting a firearm in interstate commerce.
- Investigators from the Justice Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determined Allen fired his shotgun; a round struck a Secret Service officer's vest during the incident.
- Senior law enforcement officials confirmed Wednesday the round was not friendly fire; sources said it likely struck a cellphone inside the officer's vest, preventing serious injury.
- Allen made his first federal court appearance on Monday, where he did not enter a plea and agreed to remain in custody pending trial proceedings.
