re: Injured Secret Service agent returned fire after getting hit

Somebody raised the question, did Allen shoot the agent or was it friendly fire? This quote doesn't acknowledge what hit the agent.

13. At approximately 8:40 p.m., ALLEN approached a security checkpoint on the Terrace Level of the hotel leading to the location of the dinner. ALLEN approached and ran through the magnetometer holding a long gun. As he did so, U.S. Secret Service personnel assigned to the checkpoint heard a loud gunshot. U.S. Secret Service Officer V.G. was shot once in the chest; Officer V.G. was wearing a ballistic vest at the time.
