Who shot a Secret Service officer at the Trump press dinner?

Allen, who is in custody, was armed with a semi-automatic handgun, a pump-action shotgun and three knives, according to authorities.On Sunday, Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche was asked on CBS News if the alleged assailant had shot the Secret Service agent."That's what we understand as of now," Blanche replied.But at a news conference on Monday, he retreated from that stance. A reporter asked him again who had shot the officer."We wanna get that right, so we're still looking at that," Blanche said.It appeared, he said, that five shots in total were fired during the incident.Blanche said the suspect "fired out of a shotgun, and we know that happened".He added that the ballistics were still being "looked at and finalised".The video shows a gunman, identified by authorities as Allen, running through a security checkpoint at the hotel.At one point he appears to raise a shotgun, though it is unclear if he fires.The clip also shows a Secret Service officer raising his gun - several muzzle flashes can be seen from his firearm."There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire," Pirro wrote. But she did not allege the video showed Allen firing his gun.That same day, Secret Service Director Sean Curran told Fox News: "All the evidence that I've seen, the suspect shot our officer point-blank range with a shotgun."Reviews of ballistics and other evidence can take weeks, if not months, and authorities will probably release more information as the case continues.Ultimately, whether the defendant shot the officer or not may not matter too much to prosecutors if they can secure a conviction."They have enough charges here to put Allen away for a very long time", if a jury finds him guilty, Lesko said.
