US EditionPirro says ballistic evidence shows correspondents’ dinner suspect shot officer
Ballistics evidence shows a pellet from Cole Tomas Allen’s shotgun struck a Secret Service agent, and prosecutors say more charges may follow.
- On Sunday, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro confirmed forensic evidence linking a buckshot pellet from Cole Tomas Allen's shotgun to a Secret Service agent's protective vest, stating "it is definitively his bullet."
- Surveillance footage released by prosecutors shows Allen 'casing' the Washington Hilton hotel the day before the April 25 event, suggesting premeditation in his alleged attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump.
- Synchronized audio and video analysis indicates six total shots were fired during the incident, with Allen firing first before a responding officer returned fire five times.
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated additional charges may be filed following a May 8 grand jury review, as prosecutors continue building their case against Allen.
- Defense attorneys challenged Allen's placement on 'suicide precautions' at the District of Columbia Jail, arguing the restrictive measures violate his due process rights despite no documented suicide risk.
