The court filing also includes photos Allen allegedly took of himself around a half hour before the attack.

A person familiar with the matter confirmed to NPR that a grand jury has handed up an indictment against James Comey.
The case revolves around a photo the former FBI director posted online last year of seashells on a beach arranged to say 8647.
86 being old slang to mean dismiss or remove, and 47 seen by some as a reference to President Trump, who is the 47th president.
Administration officials accused Comey of threatening Trump.
Comey has said he didn't realize some people associate the numbers with violence and took the post down.
This indictment is seen as the latest move by the Justice Department to use its vast powers to go after President Trump's perceived political enemies.
