Nearly a week after a suspect allegedly tried to assassinate President Donald Trump at a press gala, key details about the shooting remain unclear.
As the investigation has evolved, prosecutors' statements have changed on whether the suspect shot a US Secret Service officer as gunfire rang out at the Washington Hilton last Saturday.
The president and other top officials have said a Secret Service officer was shot as the attacker charged a security checkpoint at the hotel, and survived thanks to a bulletproof vest.
But court documents filed by government attorneys do not explicitly allege the accused shot an officer on the night of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
The Secret Service officer also fired five times on the suspect as he charged, authorities said, but did not strike him.
