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.

Well, I for one wish to proudly virtue signal that diversity is our strength!
It is DemomKKKrats like Pramila Jayapal, U.S. Representitive of Washington State who say:
“We must get rid of Trump by any means possible.” Comments like that act like jet fuel for the idiots with TDS.

Are we certain those popping sounds weren’t just body joints?
He had a shotgun, a pistol and several knives … not a coincidence.

I only just learned about this, and I'm 9 time zones away, so...
Nevertheless, I question the validity of racializing this incident - just because the perp is a Black man.
Regards,
As if journalistssssss. are on a par with the President, Vice President and his cabinet. Scroo the thousands of jiurnalistssssss.
Good but then we have to stop saying he’s nuts or as Trump called him a whack job. Otherwise “Your Honor, my client was mentally ill or mentally defective at the time of the shooting. He must be afforded the healthcare in a psychiatric facility that he requires until he is back to normal.” “Agree.”
These stinking communist bastards will never stop attempting to assassinate DJT...
It’s time to take, with prejudice, strong action to begin dealing with anyone who attempts, plans to attempt, encourages an attempt, or cheers an attempt, on the President’s life....
bkm
The scattered background information is sketchy. The “teacher” was a part time tutor, teaching as a tutor. Why can’t he hold a full time teaching job as school districts still cry out for more black men as role models for kids n low income areas. The one time males are in demand. I knew a new graduate who had offers all over the place while females hoped for an interview.
Then....”worked on games involving nerf ball guns” and “hoped” to develop a new video game set in outer space.
Gave $25 donation for Kamala Harris For President.
Is it just Joe Biden or does that guy look like Barack Obama?
Who confirmed the shooter’s death first. Why? And who was their source?
Yeah, it may sound very conspiracy theory oriented, but unless or until stuff like that is confirmed by more than one source, I'm not assuming anything about these people. Too many conspiracy theories are turning out to be true.
If they reclaim the White House, they will destroy the country.
Yet, no one ever took a shot at Biden or Obama in 12 years of Presidency.
Mental Illness doesn’t explain this, and the Truth is they aren’t going to stop until he’s dead.
We still don’t have answers on Butler and his encrypted accounts.
Amen to that. I don’t do that for any site and I am only an America ca For st patriot. They may try to prove coke us to action but just easy t. The judgement day will come for the heathons.
Is he a moslem?
And many of them have never written an honest story about Trump or his administration.
Maybe he's like Jack "Legs" Diamond the gangster.
He was shot at by several cops, seriously wounded six times but always somehow pulled through for many years, leading him to proclaim "you can't kill me."
Finally died, though in 1931.
Surprisingly good old movie on him.
