Investigators confirm the officer was struck by Cole Tomas Allen, 31, during the White House Correspondents’ Association event at the Washington Hilton, not by friendly fire.
Allen, a teacher and engineer from California, allegedly charged a checkpoint with a shotgun and was charged with attempted assassination of President Trump and related firearm offenses.
The officer, protected by a ballistic vest, was hospitalized and released. Authorities continue analyzing Allen’s electronic devices and evidence, including selfies taken before the attack, as the investigation progresses.
