The man accused of opening fire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner is scheduled to appear in federal court in Washington on Monday. Cole Tomas Allen, 31, was arrested after shots rang out at the hotel hosting the event, forcing former President Donald Trump and senior officials to take cover.
Allen faces two federal charges, with additional charges expected. He allegedly purchased a shotgun from Turner's Outdoorsman in Torrance and a semi-automatic pistol from CAP Tactical Firearms in Lawndale. He then traveled cross-country by rail and stayed at the Washington Hilton prior to the attack. His exact targets and motives remain unclear.
The arraignment is set to take place in federal court in Washington as authorities continue to investigate the incident.
