"Allen was captured on a hotel video camera sprinting past U.S. Secret Service agents and into the secured event space a floor above the dinner while armed, according to prosecutors, with the shotgun, a pistol, and various knives."
"In addition to trying to kill Trump, a terrorism-related charge that carries a potential life sentence, Allen faces two firearms charges related to his allegedly transporting two guns across state lines."
Cole Tomas Allen, charged with attempting to kill President Trump, will stay in federal jail until his trial. During a court hearing, he conceded to ongoing detention without entering a plea. His attorneys argued for his release, citing his lack of a criminal record and community ties, while questioning the government's case. Allen faces serious charges, including terrorism and firearms offenses, after allegedly carrying weapons into a secured area at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner before being detained.
