A federal judge criticized prosecutors during detention proceedings for Cole Allen, the man accused in connection with a shooting incident at the annual correspondents' dinner that left a Secret Service officer wounded.

The judge scolded prosecutors for pushing to move forward with detention proceedings despite Allen's agreement to remain in custody. Court documents do not explicitly accuse Allen of shooting the officer, though officials have stated the shooting was not the result of "friendly fire."

The incident occurred when a gunman stormed a security checkpoint at the annual dinner, raising security questions that continue nearly a week after the event. The Secret Service has so far avoided formal hearings regarding the shooting.

Authorities report that Allen traveled cross-country on Amtrak with firearms before the incident. The case has drawn additional attention amid reports that Amtrak may be considering easing restrictions on guns carried on its trains, a potential policy change that critics argue could weaken security measures.

The shooting has prompted broader discussions about security protocols at high-profile events attended by government officials and media personnel. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
