A shooter was arrested following an attempt to storm a press gala in Washington targeting members of the Trump administration. Colt Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old war game designer from California, was arrested following an attempted armed attack at a White House press corps dinner at the Hilton Hotel. Documents indicate Allen intended to target administration officials, prompting the White House to evacuate President Trump, his spouse, and the cabinet from the hall. Allen's brother alerted police to the existence of a document detailing the plan. Allen's sister stated he had a tendency to make radical statements. Senior law enforcement sources report the suspect was seen on hotel surveillance footage attempting to walk out of the building with a bent posture. Five females aged 17-22 were injured; suspect seen on surveillance wearing black and carrying a shotgun and handgun. The Department of Justice reports that a suspect named Allen was targeting President Trump and members of his administration. The suspect's family is cooperating with authorities, though his parents stated they were unaware weapons were being stored at their residence.
