Cole Tomas Allen, a resident of Torrance, California, was placed under suicide watch at the D.C. jail because he allegedly told the FBI that he expected to die during the shooting.
The judge convened a hearing on Monday after attorneys for Cole Allen requested over the weekend that he be removed from suicide watch at D.C.'s jail facility.
A federal magistrate ordered that the D.C. Department of Corrections explain why it had placed Cole Tomas Allen in especially restrictive conditions.
At an emergency hearing that is scheduled for Monday, Allen’s attorneys are expected to ask Zia Faruqui to end the suicide precautions, which place him in a “safe cell” under 24-hour lockdown.
