"Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old from California, entered the annals of political violence in a country with more guns than citizens and which has seen four presidents killed in office."
"The suspect, who according to the FBI is not cooperating with authorities, was armed with a handgun, a shotgun and several knives to kill Trump and as many senior officials in his Administration as possible."
"One of the officers was hit by a bullet, which was stopped by his bulletproof vest. He was discharged from the hospital that same night."
"The U.S. president didn't wait for the conclusions of an ongoing investigation before saying on Sunday that it was a religious thing and a strongly anti-Christian bias that motivated Allen."
During the White House Correspondents' Dinner, a gunman named Cole Tomas Allen attempted to breach security, armed with multiple weapons. Shots were fired, injuring an officer. Allen's motives were linked to an anti-Trump sentiment, and he was described as a depraved individual by a White House spokeswoman. The incident raised concerns about political violence in the U.S., especially given the historical context of presidential assassinations. The president attributed the attack to religious bias, despite an ongoing investigation into the motives behind Allen's actions.
