· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Cole Tomas Allen, 31, faces charges for attempting to assassinate President Trump and other crimes related to an attack during the White House Correspondents' Dinner at a Washington, D.C. hotel. Allen, a resident of Torrance, California, was arrested shortly after the shooting. Federal authorities report that Allen was carrying a 12-gauge Mossberg pump-action shotgun, knives, and ammunition when he ran through security. A court filing by the Department of Justice (DOJ) includes photos of Allen, a registered hotel guest, allegedly taken in his room minutes before the attack. Allen has ties to Southern California, including attending Pacific Lutheran High School in Gardena and the prestigious California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. During a search of his parents' home in the Los Angeles area, authorities discovered two long gun cases, a Mossberg stock, a pistol holster, a training pistol, and shotgun ammunition, according to the filing. The DOJ released new information and photographs on Wednesday in a court document ahead of a scheduled hearing this week for Allen, who is accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The document, which requests the judge to keep Allen in custody, includes previously unpublished photos of Allen in his Washington, D.C. hotel room and lists items allegedly in his possession, as well as those recovered from his parents' home in Los Angeles County.
