Trump White House Correspondents Dinner

A man armed with guns and knives stormed the lobby outside a high-profile journalists’ dinner attended by President Donald Trump and multiple senior U.S. leaders. He rushed toward the ballroom before Secret Service agents swarmed him and took him into custody. The president was uninjured and was hustled away. Guests went diving under tables as the scene unfolded Saturday. Some reported hearing shots outside the vast subterranean ballroom in the Washington Hilton where the event was being held. The shooting suspect — described by Trump as a “sick person” — was identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
