The suspect, identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, was arrested at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel after an armed man opened fire at an annual media gala event. This incident is part of a series of security-related events involving US President Donald Trump since 2024, including assassination attempts during his presidency and election campaigns. The suspect was shot and killed by the Secret Service within seconds of the gunfire, and charges will be filed shortly. The incident is not the first time that the US president has been targeted, with multiple incidents involving him at his Florida golf course and his presidential residence. In February, Ryan Wesley Routh was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to kill Trump.
