A 31-year-old California man has been charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump after a shooting incident outside the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on April 25.
Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, faces federal charges including one count of attempt to assassinate the President of the United States, transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.
According to court documents, Allen approached a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton hotel around 8:40 p.m. on Saturday, armed with a semi-automatic handgun, a pump-action shotgun, and three knives. He breached the checkpoint, gunfire erupted, and one Secret Service officer was struck in a bullet-resistant vest but is expected to recover fully. Allen was arrested near a staircase leading to the ballroom; he sustained a knee injury unrelated to gunfire.
