According to initial charging documents and Secret Service officials, Berryman walked up to the uniformed officer and said he was armed. The officer then shot Berryman once in the torso. Additional charging documents filed Wednesday revealed that a black object was seen falling from Berryman’s hands when he was shot and that a comb was found at the scene. According to the initial documents, the uniformed officer was standing at his post at Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street Northwest, on the west side of the White House. In the new charging documents, officers said they interviewed Berryman two days after the shooting as he was in the hospital.
