Welch, 36, served four years in prison after his shock attack at the Comet Ping Pong restaurant in Washington D.C. nine years ago. The conspiracy theorist was shot by police on 4 January in Kannapolis, North Carolina, officials revealed. Welch's car was pulled over after an officer recognized his gray 2001 GMC Yukon as it was "normally driven by an individual who he had previously arrested, and knew had an outstanding warrant for arrest", police said in a statement.
