The White House shooting suspect has been identified.

Cole Tomas Allen. 31. Caltech graduate. Master's degree in Computer Science.
He was a guest at the hotel where the Correspondents' Dinner was held.

Here's what authorities have confirmed:
Allen arrived armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives.

He ambushed at a security checkpoint.

Three federal charges filed: use of weapons, assault on a federal officer, and a third major count.
Authorities are treating this as a lone wolf incident.

The suspect will appear in court Monday.
All principals President Trump, First Lady, Vice President Vance, Cabinet members are confirmed safe.

Important context:

This was not a breach of the dinner itself. Allen was stopped at a checkpoint before reaching the event.

The security response worked.

That is the full picture of what is confirmed as of now.

Do not share speculation about motive, background, or connections that has not been confirmed by law enforcement.

Monday's court appearance will likely provide more verified details.
