Because of them, the President of the United States, administration officials and all attendees at the dinner were safe. Make no mistake: deranged attacks on our elected officials will never go unpunished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe evidence is abundantly clear: Cole Tomas Allen traveled to Washington D.C. for the purpose of assassinating President Trump and targeting members of the Trump administration, \u201csaid FBI Director Kash Patel. \u201cThanks to the heroic actions of our brave law enforcement partners who acted quickly and professionally, Allen did not succeed &#8211; and now, he will be held fully accountable. This FBI and our interagency partners have worked around the clock over the past two days investigating this case, and today\u2019s charges are the first step in justice being served and providing answers to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCole Allen traveled across the country with deadly weapons and a plan to assassinate the President of the United States,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro for the District of Columbia. \u201cThe swift and courageous response of the Secret Service officers prevented unimaginable tragedy. There is no room in this city for political violence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This foiled plot was a brazen attempt to assassinate the president and numerous high-ranking U.S. government officials,&#8221; said Darren Cox, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office. &#8220;Violence is never an acceptable means of expressing political dissent. I would like to thank our partners for their assistance in the aftermath of this attack as we work tirelessly to ensure Allen is brought to justice.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to court documents, on April 6, 2026, Allen made a reservation at the Washington Hilton hotel for three nights, from April 24 to April 26, 2026. Allen traveled by train from his home near Los Angeles to Chicago before boarding a train from Chicago to Washington, D.C. Allen arrived in the District at approximately 1 p.m. on April 24, 2026, and checked into the Washington Hilton later that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At approximately 8:40 p.m., Allen approached a security checkpoint on the Terrace Level of the hotel leading to the hotel\u2019s ballroom. Allen ran through the magnetometer holding a long gun. U.S. Secret Service personnel assigned to the checkpoint heard a loud gunshot. A U.S. Secret Service officer, who was wearing a ballistic vest, was shot once in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Secret Service officer drew his service weapon and fired multiple times at Allen, who fell to the ground and suffered minor injuries but was not shot. Officers subsequently arrested Allen, who was in possession of a 12-gauge pump action shotgun and a Rock Island Armory 1911 .38 caliber pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following his arrest, Allen was advised of his Miranda rights and invoked his right to remain silent. Allen was transported to Howard University Hospital for minor injuries and has since been released to law enforcement custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly before 8:40 p.m. on April 25, 2026, Allen sent an email to members of his family and a former employer explaining the actions he was about to take. The email, a copy of which law enforcement has obtained from a recipient, stated: \u201cI wish I could have said anything earlier, but doing so would have made none of this possible. My sincerest apologies for all the trouble I&#8217;ve caused. (scheduled send)-Cole.\u201d&nbsp; Allen signed his email \u201cCole \u2018coldForce\u2019 \u2018Friendly Federal Assassin\u2019 Allen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of this investigation, law enforcement reviewed records of firearm transactions from California and federal database sources. These records showed that on Aug. 17, 2025, Allen purchased a 12-gauge pump action shotgun from a California firearms dealer. On Oct. 6, 2023, Allen purchased a .38 caliber semi-automatic pistol from another firearms dealer. Based on the serial numbers in the database records, these two firearms are the same two firearms that Allen at the Washington Hilton on April 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This case is being investigated by the FBI Washington Field Office and the U.S. Secret Service. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jocelyn Ballentine, Charles Jones, Adam Barry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suspect Cole Tomas Allen being arrested by officials &#8211; Photo courtesy President Trump Truth Social WASHINGTON &#8211; Cole Tomas Allen,\u202f31, of Torrance, California, was arraigned April 27 in U.S. District Court on charges stemming from the April 25 shooting at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association Dinner, announced the Department of Justice.
