U.S. Attorney Confirms Suspect Shot Secret Service Agent at Washington Hilton
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced that ballistics evidence confirms the suspect in the Washington Hilton shooting fired the shot that struck a Secret Service agent. Prosecutors stated that a shotgun pellet from the weapon of suspect Cole Allen hit an agent's vest during the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Pirro confirmed the forensic link after investigators worked to clarify conflicting reports about the source of the gunfire. The new evidence definitively links the pellet to the suspect's firearm.
Suspect Cole Allen is currently facing charges related to the attack. Meanwhile, Allen's legal team is challenging the suicide precautions placed on him while in custody. Federal prosecutors confirmed these findings as part of the ongoing investigation into the security breach.
