Footage released late Saturday showed the heavily armed gunman who fired shots outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner sprinting past security at the Washington Hilton in the nation’s capital.
Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, was identified as the suspect in the attack. He was apprehended before he entered the ballroom, although he was able to fire shots.
However, according to The Wall Street Journal, the law enforcement officer that his bullets hit was wearing bullet-proof armor and was expected to make a full recovery.
As of early Sunday morning, he’s been charged with two counts: using a firearm during a crime or act of violence, and assault on federal officers with a dangerous weapon.
