US EditionTrump calls for WH Correspondents Dinner to be rescheduled after shooting
Trump says the dinner should be moved within a month after a suspected gunman breached security and the Secret Service evacuated guests.
- A Secret Service officer wounded during Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton was released from the hospital today. The agent had been shot while protecting dignitaries at the event.
- Cole Tomas Allen, 31, allegedly opened fire inside the Washington Hilton on Saturday as 2,500 guests, including President Donald Trump, Melania Trump, and Vice President JD Vance, gathered for the annual dinner around 8:35pm.
- The agent's bulletproof vest and mobile phone stopped the bullet, preventing serious injury. Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Gugliemi stated the protective equipment likely "helped us avoid a potential tragedy."
- Allen is scheduled to appear before federal court on Monday facing charges including assault on a federal officer, discharging a firearm, and potentially attempted assassination. Authorities recovered a 12-gauge shotgun,.38-caliber handgun, and multiple knives from the suspect.
- Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed that initial findings indicate Allen had been targeting administration officials, with President Trump likely among those in his sights. Officials recovered an "anti-Christian" manifesto sent to family members shortly before the attack, in which Allen referred to himself as the "Friendly Federal Assassin.
