Caltech grad charged in D.C. gala shooting; motive and timeline under investigation

A 31-year-old Torrance teacher and Caltech graduate, Cole Tomas Allen, was charged with transporting firearms across state lines and discharging a firearm during the Washington Hilton incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Prosecutors say he traveled from California with a 12-gauge shotgun, wrote a manifesto calling himself a 'Friendly Federal Assassin' and targeting Trump administration officials, and emailed family about his planned breach. A Secret Service agent was wounded; it’s not yet clear whether Allen fired at the agent, and investigators are still piecing together the sequence and motive as a custody hearing is set to determine his detention.

Manifesto outlines plan to target Trump officials at White House Correspondents' Dinner

CBS News obtained a manifesto from 31-year-old Cole Allen in which he described a plan to attack Trump administration officials at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, prioritizing targets from highest to lowest and noting he would still attack hotel guests and staff to reach them. He said he would use buckshot to minimize casualties and included rebuttals to possible objections. A Secret Service officer was shot but wearing a bulletproof vest and later released from hospital. Authorities found additional writings at Allen’s Torrance home and in his Washington Hilton hotel room. Allen’s sister told investigators he often used radical rhetoric and spoke of doing “something” to fix perceived problems. The gala was canceled with officials evacuating, and Trump has said he hopes to reschedule the dinner within about 30 days.
