WASHINGTON, DC — A photo sent out by President Donald Trump’s Truth Social account shows what’s believed to be the shooting suspect that derailed the White House correspondents dinner Saturday night.
The Associated Press identified the man as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California.
One officer was shot, but he was hit in the vest and is expected to be OK. No one else was hurt.
Trump said the suspect was armed with multiple weapons before stopped by Secret Service.
The president described the suspect as “sick.”
Trump thanked the Secret Service agents during remarks Saturday night.
The DC interim chief said there is no danger to the general public.
The suspect has been charged with firearms and assault charges, the U.S. attorney said.
