The suspect, identified as Cole Allen, was found with two firearms and multiple knives. The entrance to the Washington Hilton, which hosts the dinner, was subject to a loose check and security checks, but there was no security screening beyond these.

Allen is facing multiple counts of discharging a firearm during a crime and assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.
