A man taken into custody after gunfire rang out at the White House Correspondents’ Assn. dinner on Saturday was identified by law enforcement sources as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, of Torrance.
Allen was first identified by the Associated Press, which cited unnamed law enforcement sources. Another official not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation told The Times that Allen was the suspect and that authorities were in the process of obtaining warrants to search addresses associated with him in Torrance.
U.S. Atty. for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro says the suspect is being charged with two counts of using a firearm and one count of assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon. Authorities said he had a shotgun, a handgun and multiple knives.
“This individual was intent on doing as much harm and as much damage as he could,” Pirro said.
Authorities have not disclosed a possible motive.
Allen, who is registered to vote with no party preference, graduated from CalTech in 2017 with a degree in mechanical engineering, according to the university. He was featured in a CalTech graduation announcement posted by the university in 2017 on Facebook, which included a picture of him as an adult wearing a cardigan and red tie and a photo of him as a beaming young child holding a stuffed bunny.
He was named teacher of the month in December 2024 at C2 Education, which specializes in college test preparation, tutoring and academic advising.
Allen also earned a master’s degree in computer science at Cal State Dominguez Hills in 2025, according to a commencement program.
In October 2024, Allen donated $25 to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises funds for Democrats, according to the Federal Election Commission. The money was earmarked for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

His home is being raided as we write this.
Do we know his ethnicity?
Why would a man with a mechanical engineering degree take a job teaching? Isn’t a teacher’s salary about 1/3 of a mechanical engineer?
No word on family or hometown.
Tomas, not a typical spelling in this country.
The moron is a faggot from a home with a Jew Mom and a Black Dad and 3-4 other half breed siblings. he went to Cal-Tech and is rumored to be HIV positive.
No one wants to hire a TDS infected lunatic. Tutoring is probably the best he could do with his persona
>> Isn’t a teacher’s salary about 1/3 of a mechanical engineer?
Well, sure, unless his teacher’s salary is “supplemented” by (for example) a Soros-funded NGO...
Less than 30 mins after the shots, the Media had up articles saying he was a Lone Wolf.
Think about that.
No one had been to his apartment. No one had been in his accounts, no one had a clue about his finances - Yet, they were sure the unnamed Shooter was a Lone Wolf.
To me, the biggest red flag was that he used pronouns.
He brought a lot of weapons and knives I doubt it was just to kill trump I think besides trump he was gonna kill as many people in that room as possible I thought the general rule is that the president and vice president are not to be in the same room together at the same time geez it could have been a massacre
I know these days cynicism is about as good as it gets, but even the SPLC couldn’t be that insidious, could it?
It’s Simple, he should’ve been tackled.
Instead, the SS agent creates space between the two and now a poison pill with about 5 weapons is loose.
Wait what his mom is Jewish ?
He is brown-skinned, either Afro-American or Middle Eastern.
Re lone wolf:
The next question is- who vetted him (or DIDNT vett him) so that he could get near the President?
“Do we know his ethnicity?”
Have you seen the photo of the suspect on the ground? It seems pretty clear to me, though I’m not sure if it is relevant. The last 2 guys who tried to take out Trump were caucasian.
Rumors eh...and your sources?
Note your slur “half breeds”.
Your racism isn’t helping!
I was disturbed to see both President Trump and VP Vance up on that dais in a public venue like this - even before 'the incident' happened. Way too many Cabinet members at this event, too.
