This is the California Home of White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting Suspect, Cole Allen
The gunman who opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night has been identified as Cole Allen of Torrance, Calif. — with President Trump calling him a likely “lone wolf whack job” who “looked pretty evil.”
The 31-year-old, whom a federal law enforcement source confirmed is a teacher, was arrested after allegedly entering the Washington Hilton hotel and charging toward the ballroom where Trump and roughly 2,500 guests had assembled.
The gunfire broke out near the event’s indoor security screening area just after 8:30 p.m. — as salad was being served. The Secret Service rushed Trump out of the room as members of his cabinet ducked under tables before they too were evacuated.
Allen’s neighbor, who gave the name Jeff Smith, told The Post that “maybe he could be on the spectrum.”

Welp. There's one less deranged Southern Poverty Law Center supporter walking around today….
Did the suspect prefer receiving his brainwashing and propaganda from MS NOW, or CNN?
I just hope this incident doesn't negatively impact Hunter Biden's art sales…..
I'm highly confident regime media propaganda outlets will accept zero responsibility for radicalizing this Grade-A d*uchenozzle….
How does he get pass the White House security, people can’t get pass Costco without showing your membership 😂
Don't worry. Woke activist judges will still work overtime to prevent a secure ballroom facility from being built at the White House during Trump's remaining term in office.
Radicals need to recognize that WE VOTED FOR THIS PRESIDENT. If you have a problem with that, move to a different country where the people don’t have a choice.
what an idiot. too many like him sadly. 50 years in prison minimum. effectively life, will set the example and precedent.
They should hold the parents accountable as well since they're the ones that bred and made the monster!
Democrats Kamala supporter says it all!! Nut jobs
He was associated with the Israeli Mossad and the IDF.
Hmm, seems Honda put an Acura or S2000 price on it
100% orchestrated by TEAM TRUMP.
He lives with his parents
Why is there no mention that his instagram account had a picture of “Isreal Defence Force” as well as picture found on his account wearing a top with the IDF logo???
It's his parents house, he lives with them.
Well well well.
I got teared up when I got the news. I'm sure this suspect is a liberal inspired by Obama and Biden. Very bad men. If the ballroom was finished this could not have happened. They should arrest the judge that delayed the ballroom. MAGA. May the Lord bless Trump and first lady Melania.
Oh…..he’s from California? What a shock!!!!
why yall putting his house online 4 everyone to see😂😂😂
💁🏽♂️See how fast America
gets news when the Right
People are in charge of the
narrative
🇺🇲🧡✌🏽
Wolfie Blitzer figured they were coming for his big self. That's what he said!
This man is a hero and more men should be like him.Nobody else wants to defend the country.And make it go back to the glory days before donald trump
seems to me it was a waste of time at the university. A big waste of money spent on his education. Now he is in for a lifetime of teaching at the prison he should be living in for the rest of his life. I dont agree that he sholuld get life and he isnt sick at all full of HATE. He should get not life but the alternative to living…I am not for housing feeding anyone who has this kind of mind. Thats what the education system teaches you.
Another brainwashed Democrat. The deranged and suicidal party.
He's such a pig of a human being, I'm just surprised it doesn't happen daily. Stop the pearl clutching. The day he's in the ground will be a great day for humanity.
The thing is you cant take out a president, too much officers, military personnel, with high tech equipment eyes on the perimeter and secret service all around, planning, timing frequency and execution all have to synchronize to get the job done.
Democrats ruin everything
