The suspect in the White House Correspondents' Association dinner shooting wrote about targeting Trump administration officials, President Donald Trump said. The suspect, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, attempted to storm the ballroom at the Washington Hilton with guns and knives. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said officials believe Allen traveled by train from California to Washington and checked in at the hotel where the event was held. Law enforcement officials examined Allen's electronic devices and writings, and preliminarily believe he intended to target administration members. One Secret Service officer was shot in a bullet-resistant vest but is expected to make a full recovery. Allen is not being cooperative and is expected to face multiple charges.
