The suspected shooter at the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner was likely targeting President Trump and other administration officials when he opened fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. EDT, with the president being ushered off the dais at the front of the ballroom to a special presidential suite created to protect him after former President Ronald Reagan was shot at the same hotel in 1981. The suspected gunman, identified as Cole Allen, could be charged with attempting to assassinate the president. This incident follows three assassination attempts on Trump's life, including one in Butler, Pa., and another planned attacks in West Palm Peach, Fla. The suspect is not cooperating with the investigation but has been praised for his cooperation.
