Washington shooting: Why did suspected gunman Cole Tomas Allen target President Trump | BBC News
President Donald Trump and his officials were the “likely” targets of a suspected gunman who attempted to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche has said.
The suspect, named by US media as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, was arrested after police said he opened fire near a security checkpoint during the event at a Washington DC hotel on Saturday.
Blanche, speaking to NBC News, said the alleged gunman’s motive is still under investigation, but that “preliminary” findings suggest he was targeting administration officials.
Trump, who was rushed off the stage to safety, told reporters at a briefing after the shooting on Saturday: “I can’t imagine that there’s any profession that’s more dangerous”.
In a statement on Sunday, the White House said Trump “stands fearless” after surviving, alongside cabinet members, “an assassination attempt when shots were fired”.
The White House Correspondents’ Association president, Weijia Jiang, called the attack “harrowing”.
On Sunday, Jiang, who was sat next to Trump at the dinner, thanked the Secret Service for actions which “protected thousands of guests”. She added the board will meet and determine how to proceed, and will release updates when available.
Trump told Fox News that the suspect “had a lot of hatred in his heart for a while”, and said his family knew he had “difficulties”. He added that the suspect had a “manifesto”.

Relatives of those who died in the Air India plane disaster have been marking the first anniversary by keeping vigil at the site in Ahmedabad.
Flight 171 crashed just 32 seconds after takeoff, killing 260 people. One man onboard survived.
Air accident investigators say a final report on the cause of the disaster will be released once all its work has been completed.
But many families of the victims have been voicing their frustration with the process, and the lack of answers they have been offered. Some have yet to receive the remains of their loved ones to hold a proper burial.
We speak to the BBC’s Azadeh Moshiri who is at the site in Ahmedabad.

Royal Marine Commandos have boarded a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the English Channel in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Marines, joined by National Crime Agency officers, with the support of the RAF, intercepted and boarded the vessel in a six-hour operation – the first operation of its kind by UK armed forces.
The vessel, Smyrtos, will be held and monitored off the south coast of England as investigations continue, the MoD said.
