"Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, will appear in court Monday, accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner, law enforcement officials said."
"Allen allegedly entered the Washington Hilton hotel, charged through security carrying a shotgun, a handgun and multiple knives, before shooting and hitting a member of the U.S. Secret Service detail assigned to protect Trump."
"Allen was a tutor and amateur video game developer, according to the Associated Press. He obtained a bachelor's degree in 2017 in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena."
"He created a game called 'Bohrdom,' described as 'a skill-based, non-violent asymmetrical fighting game loosely derived from a chemistry model that is itself loosely based on reality.'"
