I don’t “know” for certain yet. But they have been really cagey about even answering whether Allen fired any shots. And the one guy they originally reported him as having shot with buckshot to the chest, now they can’t determine whether that was actually friendly fire.
These guys were all packing pistols. Iirc from photos there were some guys with ARs.
Do you think you could easily identify the effects of a shotgun firing buckshot at relatively close range from that of a pistol? I bet you could. It’s really easy. Bunch of little holes creating 1 really big hole if close enough? Shotgun. 1 small hole? Pistol/rifle.








Regarding ballistics evidence, I am talking about one very specific thing that they have explicitly refused to comment on: whether he actually shot that guy. Even in the charging documents, about him discharging a firearm in the commission of a violent attmepted crime or whatever it’s called, they still don’t say that he discharged it at the ss officer.
I take your point, but I am not wildly speculating. Them witholding evidence in a very specific way is itself evidence as it implies a possibility (that the shotgun was not fired at the ss officer).
I’m not yet saying that certainly didn’t happen, just that we’re hearing different things from different sources who were present, the charging docs, etc. that do not line up in the way you expect.
That opens the door for questions around what really went down. Nothing definitive, but it raises questions.
