The suspect in the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting has been identified as a California teacher.
Cole Tomas Allen, 31, from Torrance, California is the alleged shooter who opened fire at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night.
The educator from the Los Angeles area faces firearms and assault charges after he allegedly breached a security checkpoint and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement.
Police revealed the suspect had a number of weapons on him including a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives.
President Trump shared a stunning image shortly after the shooting, showing the suspect shirtless and lying face down on the carpet.
Law enforcement confirmed he was not struck by gunfire while being stopped but has since been taken to the hospital for evaluation.
Itis understood Allen may have been a guest at the Hilton hotel where the event was taking place.
Surveillance video shows the suspect sprinting past a security checkpoint and attempting to reach the doors to the ballroom where the president was gathered along with his most senior cabinet members and thousands of journalists.

President Trump was there because he refuses to be intimidated. He was there to drop some truth that would be widely heard.
I think Allen was employed by C2 Education, a private tutoring and test prep company in Torrance, not the Torrance Unified School District. C2 Education is a commercial franchise operation–SAT/ACT prep, academic tutoring–entirely separate from the public school system.
Good Thinking!
Which would also explain why they were Fainting around Obama, but now trying to kill Trump.
Oh. Thanks. That’s kind of disturbing. Here we are encouraging people to remove their kids from public schools because they are THE problem. That problem has morphed to organizations that are quasi-public.
There’s really only one option any more.
It’s still early yet, so the C2 Education story may turn out to be false.;-)
Female SS agents. /ducking...
“a type of Hypnosis”
Maybe it’s more like “mass formation psychosis”, similar to the mindset and actions of people during Covid. Within two weeks, the weak-minded were all on the same page and being led by TPTB who had an evil agenda.
The Security was poor .
The entire Block should of been closed off .
The perimeter should of been well out side hotel.
That nut was confronted armed in the Hotel lobby .
They had protestors just outside the hotel door .
Who the hell is running this debacle ?
Do they still have DR Jills DEI SS ?
Why is a 5 ft girl guarding the 6 ft President and first lady ?
WHY didn’t the MENTALIST KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN??
Will Sean Curran still be employed by Friday?
He wasn’t very effective in Butler. Now this.
IMO, either he’s incompetent, or is sabotaging POTUS.
He wasn’t that sort of teacher. He was with a company that hired out for tutoring.
I agree, probably not wise with thousands of leftists & terrorists eagerly watching for any opportunity.
Bkmk
I don’t think he is “that” black. He looks alittle Asian and/or white, too. He is Obama black.
He was born in CA.
Bad shots.
Expect nothing in the way of truth. You won't be disappointed.
These incidents happen because the Democrats and the Media keep cheering for them. There are always a small number of crazies who will be inspired to act on that cheering. And they have friends who will encourage and help them.
I’m so sick of the results of DEI & knee jerk feminism. How many need to die because of inappropriate selections made to mollify, virtue signal or capitalize on the woke system incentives?
There need to be widespread reassignments & terminations based on merit and suitability throughout society but especially in occupations where lives are at risk.
You can tell they are pussies...they don’t take their drinks with them while they are cowering.
