Accused WH correspondents’ dinner attacker is tutor and computer programmer from California
WASHINGTON (AP) — Social media posts that appear to match the California man arrested Saturday in the shooting at the White House correspondents’ dinner show he is a highly educated tutor and amateur video game developer.
A May 2025 profile photo of Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, appears to match the appearance of the man in a photo of the alleged attacker being taken into custody that was posted Saturday night by President Donald Trump. The photo, posted to the social networking site LinkedIn, shows him in a cap and gown after graduating with a master’s degree in computer science from California State University-Dominguez Hills.
Allen, 31, earned a bachelor’s degree in 2017 in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He listed his involvement there in a Christian student fellowship and a campus group that battled with Nerf guns.
A local ABC station in Los Angeles included an interview with Allen during his senior year of college as part of a story about new technologies to help people as they age. He had developed a prototype for a new type of emergency brake for wheelchairs.
Allen contributed $25 to a Democratic Party political action committee in support of Kamala Harris for president in 2024, according to federal campaign finance records.
Allen’s online resume says he worked for the last six years at C2 Education, a company that offers admissions counseling and test preparation services to aspiring college students. A 2024 post on the company’s Facebook page listed Allen as the company’s teacher of the month. The company did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Saturday night.
Allen also posted that he had developed a video game for the Steam platform based on molecular chemistry. A post under Allen’s name said he was working to develop a new “top-down shooter” combat game set in outer space.

It sounded good in the 4AM talking points back then and Fact Checkers weren't really a thing. Neither were calculators.

EXPOSED: The 'Trapped Trump' Lie — DOJ Drops SPLC Bombshell
— Barbara Boyd argues that media narratives about Donald Trump being trapped by impeachment, high prices, and a new Iran war are false, and claims the administration has launched an “accountability” and economic push. It highlights a Justice Department indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for fraud, alleging the SPLC smeared conservatives while secretly funding racist groups and paying an informant involved in planning the 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” event. FBI Director Kash Patel cut ties with the SPLC and ADL, and that the IRS is banning fiscal sponsorships that hide donors. It also covers five Defense Production Act energy executive orders to rapidly expand U.S. grid and fuel infrastructure to drive prices down, plus Regeneron joining “most favored nation” drug pricing and reshoring. Finally, it cites Scott Bessent’s statements on expanding dollar swap lines to Gulf and Asian allies, framing this as outflanking London-backed alternatives to the dollar.

We are saving _ _ _ _ for last.
Very specific reason not mentioned a single time.
Secret Service Agent Shot at White House Correspondents’ Dinner: Trump
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said the suspect was being charged and would be arraigned on Monday.
A Secret Service agent was shot but survived an attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25, President Donald Trump said during a press briefing after the incident.
“One officer was shot, but saved by the fact that he was wearing an obviously, a very good bulletproof vest,” Trump said from the White House briefing room. “He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun.”
The president added that he had spoken with the agent and that he was “doing great.”
The president and First Lady Melania Trump were evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday evening after an assailant breached a security checkpoint near the ballroom.
Several Epoch Times staff on the scene heard shots at about 8:40 p.m. and witnessed the reaction. Immediately after around five shots rang out, Secret Service agents rushed the stage.
The event was canceled. Trump, the first lady, and his Cabinet members returned to the White House to hold a press briefing after the incident.
Trump said the suspect was “running full blast” through security, according to video footage he released on social media. “And they got him before he got any further, I was very far away.”
Trump commended the officers for their swift response.
“The reaction time was great. Boy, those guys, they had their guns drawn, literally, by the time he was there, they were shooting. I thought they were very impressive.”
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said at a separate briefing that both the agent and the suspect were transported to the hospital.
Trump said the suspect is from California and authorities were going to investigate his apartment. He described the man as “very sick.”
“My impression was that he was a lone wolf,” Trump said.
At the briefing, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche praised law enforcement and said the investigation is “ongoing and just started.”
“The charges should be self evident, given the conduct, but as you'll hear, there will be multiple charges surrounding the shooting, around the possession of firearms and anything else that we can get on this guy,” he said.
FBI Director Kash Patel urged people to call the agency with tips if they had information. He said that the process of examining the suspect’s background had already begun.
“We will analyze all evidence immediately to make sure that we safeguard this country,” Patel said at the briefing.

A small plane crash near Minneapolis kills North Dakota state legislator [Liz Conmy] and the pilot
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A small plane crashed just after taking off from Crystal Airport north of Minneapolis on Saturday, killing a North Dakota state legislator and the pilot, authorities said.
North Dakota state Rep. Liz Conmy, of Fargo, was killed in the crash, her colleague, state Sen. Tim Mathern, told the Star Tribune.
The North Dakota Democratic–Nonpartisan League Party, an affiliate of the national Democratic Party, confirmed Conmy’s death in a social media post, calling her a champion for public education, the environment, and transparency.
“We are completely heartbroken and gutted by the loss of Representative Liz Conmy. Her death is a profound loss for our state,” the party said in a post on X.
Officers responded to a report of a small airplane crash at 11:51 a.m. and found an aircraft that had crashed and caught fire in a park in the city of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, shortly after taking off, Brooklyn Park Police Inspector Matt Rabe said.
Rabe said the plane crashed shortly after taking off. He wouldn’t say how many people were on the plane. The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that two people were aboard.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating a crash involving a Beech F33A airplane and expects investigators to arrive at the scene soon.
