Overview
- Secret Service rushed President Trump, the first lady, and senior officials from the Washington Hilton ballroom after shots were fired in the hallway on Saturday night.
- One Secret Service agent was hit but protected by a bullet‑resistant vest, and officials reported no injuries to guests.
- The suspect, identified by the Associated Press as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, carried a shotgun, a handgun, and knives, and was subdued outside the checkpoint without being shot, the DC police chief said.
- U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said the suspect will face federal charges, including using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer, with a court appearance expected Monday.
- Police canceled the dinner after early plans to continue, and organizers now aim to reschedule within 30 days as Trump shared security footage and a photo of the suspect and officials clarified he was in custody after conflicting early reports.
