White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter identified

The White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter was recently identified by President Trump himself as a 31-year-old teacher from California named Cole Tomas Allen.

America's commander in chief bravely shared an image of the man accused of charging past a security checkpoint at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, calling him a lone wolf.

At a subsequent press conference that was held, reports by the DC Mayor suggested that the man worked alone when he opened fire at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night.

The educator from the Los Angeles area now faces firearms and assault charges after he allegedly breached a security checkpoint and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement.

Interim Washington DC police chief Jeffrey Carroll mentioned to reporters how the suspect was armed with a shotgun, handgun, and several knives.

The incident arose at about 8:36 pm, minutes after the event started. He was believed to be a guest at the hotel that hosts this event each year. Shocking new viral footage showed the gunman racing past security.
