US EditionObama calls on Americans to reject violence after WHCA dinner shooting
Investigators say the wounded agent survived because of a bulletproof vest as officials review writings that suggest a political motive.
- On Saturday, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen opened fire at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, injuring a Secret Service agent before being subdued and evacuating President Donald Trump.
- Authorities recovered a manifesto from Allen describing himself as a 'friendly federal assassin' targeting Trump administration officials due to political grievances and anti-Trump rhetoric.
- President Trump praised the 'great work done by law enforcement' containing the threat, while Weijia Jiang, President of the White House Correspondents' Association, called it a 'harrowing moment.'
- Former President Barack Obama faced backlash after posting on X that motives remained unclear, prompting EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to say the post was 'clueless' given Allen's explicit manifesto.
- The Secret Service is conducting a full security review of large-scale events outside the White House complex, with the dinner rescheduled within 30 days amid ongoing security protocol debates.
