US Edition‘I Don’t Expect Forgiveness’: Authorities Review Writings of California Teacher Suspected of Shooting
Authorities say writings and social media posts point to a politically motivated attack, and the suspect is expected to face criminal charges Monday.
- On Saturday, Cole Thomas Allen attempted to breach a Secret Service checkpoint at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, triggering a struggle where shots were fired before he was apprehended; President Donald Trump was evacuated unharmed.
- Authorities discovered writings where Allen called himself a "Friendly Federal Assassin" and detailed grievances with Trump administration policies, including U.S. strikes on boats accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
- Before the attack, Allen worked as a game developer and was recently named "Teacher of the Month" in Torrance, California, though law enforcement uncovered a history of radical statements and anti-Trump social media posts.
- Arrested at the Washington Hilton on Saturday, Allen is set to face criminal charges on Monday as investigators review his weapon purchases and anti-Trump communications for evidence of premeditation.
- Allen's brother contacted police in New London, Connecticut, after receiving the suspect's writings, prompting federal agents to interview family members about legally purchased weapons stored at their parents' home in Torrance.
