Armed man disrupts White House correspondents’ dinner; in custody

A suspect armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives charged a Secret Service checkpoint during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, was tackled and taken into custody, and is being evaluated in hospital. The man, later identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, faces preliminary firearms and assault charges as investigators say the shooter acted alone. President Trump postponed the gala and said it would be rescheduled within 30 days, stressing the incident will not deter U.S. policy on Iran.
