White House Assassination Attempt Foiled
Description
Cole Allen, a 31-year-old man, attempted to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner using a shotgun. He was apprehended within seven seconds by federal agents. Despite firing at a uniformed officer, the officer was only bruised and returned fire, hitting Allen in the knee. No other guests were harmed due to the swift action of over thirty federal security teams. Prosecutors dropped charges for attempted assassination but added assault on a federal officer. The case is ongoing with no plea from the suspect.
