From the Philadelphia Daily News
"The woman, who was not identified in the suit, or by police in prior news stories, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and related offenses."

"In the suit, Bullard claims he was forced to work with a worn, torn and defective gun holster and that Amtrak failed to provide a new holster when he requested one."

Probably will be settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. I betcha he get's a holster too!
