Showing Original Post only (View all)Cole Thomas Allen did not shoot anyone [View all]
It is also doubtful he even fired the shotgun. No mention of his discharging his weapons, although a shotgun was mentioned Saturday, when it was also claimed Allen had been killed. No mention of discharging his weapons in the affidavit, and even Blanche didn't say he fired a gun. The SS hit had to have been by friendly fire -- as per the Feds, only law enforcement fired anything.
EVERYONE since Saturday night calls him The Shooter, and that he hit an SS agent, because they want that narrative, but it is FALSE.

They will have tested his guns to see if they had been fired recently. They do know.

Perhaps the SS agent was struck by a round fired at Allen by another officer as he ran past the checkpoint?
