A major security incident unfolded at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner held at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where gunshots were fired shortly before President Donald Trump's scheduled address. The suspect, Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old resident of Torrance, California, was apprehended after confronting Secret Service agents near the security checkpoint. The chaos prompted the evacuation of President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and other officials, with no injuries reported among attendees. However, a law enforcement officer was struck in the protective vest and is expected to recover. President Trump praised the swift actions of law enforcement and announced plans to reschedule the dinner within 30 days. Investigations are ongoing to determine how Allen gained access to a weapon and the secure area, with federal agencies, including the FBI, involved in the inquiry. No motive has been disclosed yet.
