TL;DR

Federal prosecutors say buckshot from Cole Tomas Allen's Mossberg shotgun struck a Secret Service officer's bullet-resistant vest during the April 25 White House Correspondents' Dinner attack. The officer survived; Allen, who was injured, remains jailed and faces charges of attempted assassination of the president plus firearms offenses, with a potential life prison sentence on the assassination count. Prosecutors say there is no evidence of friendly fire.
