The suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attack has been identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, from Torrance, California, according to official reports.
Authorities say Allen travelled from California to Washington DC prior to the incident, which triggered a major security response at one of the most high-profile political events in the United States.
Investigators have confirmed that Allen is believed to have acted alone, with early evidence pointing to a pre-planned attack involving multiple weapons.
Reports also suggest he worked as a tutor and computer programmer, raising further questions about his background and motive.
The investigation is ongoing as federal authorities continue to examine how the suspect was able to approach a secured political event and what led to the attack.
More details are expected as officials build a clearer picture of the timeline and intent behind the incident.
