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.

He’s high yellow...but you are right that doesn’t matter. Besides, it was probably the white part of him that did this.
“…while carrying a shotgun, a pistol and some knives, …”
NYPD used to have an Anti Crime squad the job of which was to remove guns from the streets. (Since disbanded on account of being “racist”.) these guys could spot armed miscreants simply by observing body language as the subject innocently walked down the street. Apparently this talent isn’t held by our “elite” law enforcement. A walking armory strolls up and no one the wiser.
Yes. Even better.
Yet wins “Teacher of the Month”. Strange.....
“And, the next thing I knew, a police officer threw me to the ground.”
That wasn’t a police officer it was Anderson Cooper trying to dry hump you Wolf.😎
Broken windows policing and stop and frisk worked.
Which is why Deep State has a mad-on for both.
These are hopelessly disaffected and dysfunctional losers who grasp on to any one and anything that accepts them and encourages their loser mentality!
The DNC has radicalized a whole strata of US society 😡
Whether the gunman was part of a terrorist group or a lone nut, it was the height of foolishness to have the President, the Vice President, and the Cabinet in one place at the same time other than at the White House or a military base. Whoever came up with this idea should have his or her head examined.
I’m curious, where or how was racial reparations mentioned in any of the reporting pertaining to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner?
My bet is race had nothing to do with this shooter. The shooter is an unhinged leftist. In other words, political ideology was likely where the motive will be found.
That would work for me, especially after Trump and his DOJ decided to bring back firing squads for the method of execution recently.
It’s racialized because the media won’t mention or for the most part even report on violent gun crimes unless the perp is white and then they insist “he must be a white supremacists and MAGA supporter.”
Exactly. Difficult to see justice being done in this case.
Shooter works for the Torrance School District. Betty Lieu is President of the School Board. (Not the same Betty Lou who has a new pair of shoes.)
She is MARRIED TO TED LIEU, RAT Congress Critter, and hater of PDJT.
“Ted’s wife, Betty, is a member of the Torrance Board of Education; a member of California’s Commission on Special Education; and a former California Deputy Attorney General.”
He’s Black With A Capital “B” though!
....How did the alleged shooter happen to decide to make a trip to D.C. and stay at this hotel?...
mebe he had a professional development day...
“Mental Illness doesn’t explain this“
The closest explanation is a type of Hypnosis, cult based conditioning even. Intense programming through “education”, and the “media” of highly suggestible people through repetition. Wind up toys. Your tax dollars at work.
He is Black???
The FOURTH ESTATE IS THE FIFTH COLUMN IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!
He ran in with a RIFLE??????
“He is Black???”
Probably more than 50%. Someone posted a childhood pic of him, and he’s a black (not “Black”) kid.
