"We now can establish that a pellet that came from the buckshot from the defendant's Mossberg pump-action shotgun was intertwined with the fiber of the vest of the Secret Service officer. It is definitively his bullet."
"Allen has been charged with attempted assassination of the president, as well as two additional firearms counts, including discharging a weapon during a crime of violence."
Authorities confirmed that buckshot from Cole Tomas Allen's shotgun struck a Secret Service agent's bullet-resistant vest during an attempted assassination of President Trump. U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro stated that the pellet was intertwined with the vest's fiber, confirming it was from Allen's weapon. Allen, who was injured but not shot, faces charges including attempted assassination and could receive a life sentence. The incident occurred at a Washington hotel during a media gala, where Allen attempted to storm the event with firearms and knives.
