5 to 6 shots heard at Correspondents' Dinner

Shots Interrupt WHCA Dinner, Triggering Chaos

What was supposed to be a polished Washington social night turned into a security scare, according to multiple reports and videos shared online.

Minutes before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was set to begin at the Washington Hilton, people inside the venue said they heard several gunshots.

The event reportedly had President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson, Secretary Pete Hegseth, Karoline Leavitt, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and other officials in attendance.

Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, was also reportedly there and was seen shaken as the situation unfolded. For a town that loves to preach about “norms,” it sure got a fast lesson in how fragile a fancy dinner becomes when real danger shows up.

Officials identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, a former teacher and was staying at the Hotel. He was armed ith a shotgun, handgun and several knives.

Reported on Fox, he voted for Kamala Harris.

So he was a registered independent who made a contribution to Act Blue a couple of years ago.

By the way, Lynn...did you ever mention the guy who came from a family of Republicans in NC who was shot and killed at MAL pointing a gun a few months ago? The guy that was upset about the Epstein files?

Also, should it surprise anyone that non-MAGAs seem to be the people most pissed off over Trump? MAGAs do whatever Trump tells them to do and blindly follow him. Americans can't stand the guy.

This is totally blamed on Democrats and your forever anti-American, Anti-Trump rhetoric.
No Republican "blindly" follows anyone but we do know who the enemies are, unlike you who is rooting for Iran to win the war. How damn sick is that. Take a hike. Democrats are pissed" off at everything most of all over the fact that you know you are losers.
