Ballistics Tie Cole Allen to Secret Service Shoot at WHCA Dinner

New ballistics analysis ties Cole Tomas Allen to a buckshot hit on a Secret Service agent during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner shooting; Allen is charged with discharging a firearm during a crime of violence and prosecutors say the agent was shot but uninjured. Pirro said the bullet was definitively Allen’s. Additional charges could follow. Allen was removed from suicide precautions after his attorneys filed an emergency motion, and a hearing was canceled after his release.

Defense casts doubt on gunfire claim in Trump dinner shooting case

Defense lawyers for Cole Tomas Allen, accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House correspondents’ dinner, say video evidence does not clearly show a muzzle flash and have demanded full access to video, witness statements and ballistics, arguing the prosecution’s theory rests on incomplete data. Prosecutors say a buckshot pellet was recovered at the scene, shot toward a Secret Service officer, and that Allen fired at least once, with ballistics analysis still ongoing. Allen faces up to life in prison if convicted; the government notes the investigation is continuing and notes surveillance footage showing an officer firing near the suspect as the incident unfolded.

The court is also investigating an alleged leak of evidence in the case.
