US EditionTrump says Correspondents' dinner shooting suspect wrote anti-Christian manifesto
Investigators say Cole Allen carried a shotgun, a handgun and knives and planned to target administration officials, while a Secret Service agent was struck in a vest.
- On Saturday, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, charged a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, firing a shotgun and wounding a Secret Service agent before being tackled and arrested.
- Sent to his family 10 minutes before the attack, Allen's manifesto dubbed him the "Friendly Federal Assassin" and detailed plans to kill Trump administration officials, according to law enforcement officials.
- Allen legally purchased a.38-caliber pistol in October 2023 and a 12-gauge shotgun in August 2025, then traveled from Southern California to Washington, D.C. by rail to execute the attack.
- President Donald Trump and other officials were safely evacuated as security personnel formed a protective cordon; the wounded Secret Service agent escaped serious injury because his bulletproof vest stopped the shot.
- Trump intends to reschedule the dinner within 30 days while continuing to lobby for a secure ballroom facility on White House grounds to prevent future security lapses at high-profile events.
