According to DC Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner incident involved a suspect reportedly armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and several knives.

Authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, a teacher from Torrance, California. Reports suggest he was present at the Hilton hotel where the event was held

Witness accounts shared with the New York Post indicate the individual emerged from a makeshift room near the entrance area, where security presence was limited and bar carts were stored. One volunteer described the weapon as “long” and said it “didn’t look like a typical gun,” adding that it may have been retrieved from a bag.
