Suspected gunman Cole Tomas Allan sent his family a long manifesto before rushing through security to try to assassinate Donald Trump and other members of his administration at the Washington Hilton on Saturday. His last words, written not long before he left for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, have been revealed.
Cole Tomas Allan, a 31-year-old residing in the Los Angeles, California suburb of Terrence, was caught and arrested after rushing through security at the Wasington HIlton, where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was held on Saturday.
Sources close to the investigation tell ABC News that early evidence suggests that Allen’s plan was to target as many people as possible in a mass shooting.
The shooter reportedly had three guns on him: a shotgun, a handgun, and knives. He exchanged gunfire with law enforcement before he was taken down and arrested.
