The US attorney for Washington, DC has confirmed that the man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner is the one who shot a Secret Service agent during the attack.

Some shit you should know before you dig in: If you’re unaware, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, was arrested April 25 after he allegedly tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the Washington Hilton, where Trump and other administration officials were in attendance alongside hundreds of journalists. According to prosecutors, Allen took an Amtrak train from his home near Los Angeles to Chicago and then to Washington, arriving in DC on April 24 (the day before the dinner) armed with a shotgun, a semiautomatic pistol, and three knives. He ran past a Secret Service security checkpoint on the terrace one floor above the ballroom, fired his weapon, struck a Secret Service agent in the chest (the bulletproof vest stopped the round), and then tripped and was tackled. The agent got off five rounds in return, all of which missed. Federal prosecutors ultimately charged Allen with three counts: attempting to assassinate the president, transporting a firearm across state lines with intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence (the assassination count alone carries a possible life sentence). Authorities also pointed to a message Allen sent to relatives in the moments before he launched his attack.

What’s going on now: Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said forensic analysis has tied the pellet recovered from the Secret Service agent’s vest to Allen’s Mossberg pump-action shotgun, with the round itself “intertwined with the fiber” of the protective gear, putting to rest theories that another officer’s round had caused the injury. “It is definitively his bullet,” she said. She also said the attack was clearly premeditated.

“He had every intention to kill him and anyone who got in his way, on his way to killing the president of the United States. This was a premeditated, violent act, calculated to take down the president, and anyone who was in the line of fire.”

Pirro said Allen, who has a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from Caltech, a master’s in computer science from California State University, Dominguez Hills, worked as a part-time tutor at C2 Education, and previously interned at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, isn’t insane. “He is far from insane. He is brilliant.” She said Allen took selfies in his hotel room before the attack and added, “He is smug, he is proud, and he is focused on what he’s doing.” Pirro said Allen began planning the attack on March 2, the same day Trump confirmed he would attend the dinner.

Allen’s defense team is pushing back hard on his treatment in custody. Federal public defender A.J. Kramer argued in a Saturday filing in US District Court that three separate assessments had cleared Allen of any suicide risk, but the jail kept him under those restrictions anyway. Kramer wrote that the conditions are “excessive restrictions on his liberty that serve no justifiable purpose and deprive Mr. Allen of dignity while incarcerated.”

This all comes as the White House continues to lay blame on Democratic lawmakers, claiming their rhetoric against the administration is what fuels attacks like this one, while Trump’s opponents argue he’s leveraging the shooting to crack down on dissent and shut critics up.
