The numbers tell one story.
Allen’s Mossberg pump-action shotgun spoke louder than his intentions. A pellet from the buckshot struck a Secret Service agent’s vest. The agent survived. Allen, a part-time tutor and amateur video game developer, now faces life in prison. The investigation continues, but the evidence is already weighing heavily against him. The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner will never be the same.
Jeanine Pirro’s words reframed the situation: “It is definitively his bullet.”
