Man charged for White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting

Cole Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old from Torrance, California, is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in federal court in Washington, D.C., after being charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon for allegedly opening fire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night. President Trump and other officials were safely evacuated after authorities stopped and apprehended the suspect near the hotel's screening area at the Washington Hilton, where more than 2,500 politicians, journalists and celebrities had gathered. A Secret Service agent was struck by a round during the incident but was protected by a bulletproof vest and has since been released from the hospital. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Saturday night that the suspect was intent on doing as much harm as possible but was stopped at a checkpoint outside the ballroom. The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation while the Secret Service examines the suspect's background. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday on "Face the Nation" that investigators believe Allen was targeting Trump administration officials. Investigators obtained what they say is a "manifesto" written by Allen, in which he allegedly wrote that he planned the attack because he did not want the "crimes" of the administration to "coat his hands" and said he intended to target administration officials "prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest." Allen was evaluated at a local hospital before being moved to a D.C. jail following the incident. The suspect has not been ordered a public defender yet, according to online court records. During a subsequent interview with CBS News' Norah O'Donnell on "60 Minutes," President Trump reacted angrily when she read portions of the alleged manifesto that labeled him a "pedophile and rapist," calling the questioning disgraceful and denying the accusations.
