Torrance residents stunned as neighbor linked to Trump dinner gunman

Residents of Torrance, California, were stunned to learn that Cole Thomas Allen—the man charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington—lives just two blocks away with his parents. Neighbors described the suburb as quiet, joking it has a 'Bore-ance' reputation, as FBI and media swarmed the area. Prosecutors say Allen planned to target Trump officials, and he was armed with a semi-automatic handgun, a pump-action shotgun and three knives when he charged the security checkpoint; a Secret Service agent was injured in the ensuing gunfire. Allen appeared in court and has not entered a plea, as the case proceeds.
