"Chaos erupted Saturday night at the so-called Hinckley Hilton when a loud noise that turned out to be gunfire unleashed pandemonium. Suspect Cole Tomas Allen was taken into custody after rushing through the security perimeter and opening fire."
"Officer V.G. was shot once in the chest; Officer V.G. was wearing a ballistic vest at the time. Officer V.G. drew his service weapon and fired multiple times at ALLEN, who fell to the ground and suffered minor injuries but was not shot."
"According to two sources with knowledge of the probe, the FBI has not found the fragment that pierced a Secret Service officer's bullet-proof vest, leaving it unable to say for certain that the armed attacker shot the officer or how he was injured."
Chaos erupted at the White House Correspondents' Dinner when suspect Cole Tomas Allen opened fire after breaching security. A Secret Service agent was shot in the chest but was protected by a ballistic vest. Initial reports of Allen being shot were false. The FBI is currently investigating the incident and has not determined whether Allen's gunfire caused the injury to the agent. The origin of the shot that struck the agent remains unknown, complicating the investigation.
