Would-Be Assassin Apprehended
A would-be assassin was apprehended earlier tonight after attempting to shoot President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner.
Initial reports indicated the U.S. Secret Service had arrested one man, said to be 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance, California. Allen reportedly fired five to eights shots inside the WHCA hall at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C.
President Donald Trump was not at the podium at the time, and escaped without being injured. Also uninjured: Melania Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.
The press association canceled the dinner rather than proceed. Here’s more from Amala Ekpunobi.
