Tersangka penembakan di luar acara White House Correspondents' Dinner telah diidentifikasi

Pihak berwenang telah mengidentifikasi Cole Allen, pria berusia 31 tahun asal Torrance, California, sebagai tersangka yang melepaskan tembakan di luar acara White House Correspondents' Dinner di Hotel Washington Hilton pada Sabtu malam. Presiden Donald Trump dan ibu negara Melania Trump dievakuasi dengan selamat, dan tidak ada tamu yang terluka parah, meskipun seorang agen Secret Service sempat terkena tembakan namun terlindungi oleh rompi antipeluru. Tersangka berhasil ditangkap di tempat kejadian dan digambarkan sebagai pelaku tunggal.

Sumber penegak hukum mengidentifikasi tersangka sebagai Cole Allen, yang dipersenjatai dengan senapan, pistol, dan beberapa pisau saat ia mencoba menyerbu pos pemeriksaan keamanan di luar ruang dansa. Pejabat melaporkan terdapat lima hingga delapan tembakan yang dilepaskan selama insiden tersebut. Kepala Kepolisian Metropolitan D.C. sementara, Jeff Carroll, mengonfirmasi bahwa Allen adalah tamu hotel tersebut dan dibawa ke rumah sakit untuk evaluasi setelah ditahan, meskipun ia sendiri tidak terkena tembakan. Presiden Trump membagikan foto media sosial yang menunjukkan tersangka tanpa baju sedang diringkus di lantai hotel dan menggambarkannya sebagai serigala penyendiri dalam pernyataannya kepada wartawan di Gedung Putih. Carroll menyatakan bahwa tampaknya Allen bertindak sendiri, sementara penyelidikan masih terus berlanjut. Agen federal terlihat memasuki sebuah rumah di Torrance yang diyakini sebagai kediaman Allen pada Sabtu malam. Dua sumber mengatakan bahwa Allen memberi tahu penegak hukum setelah penangkapannya bahwa ia ingin menembak para pejabat pemerintahan Trump, meskipun motif resminya belum dirilis. Allen sebelumnya bekerja untuk C2 Education, sebuah firma bimbingan belajar di Torrance, di mana ia menerima penghargaan Guru Terbaik Bulan Ini pada Desember 2024; status pekerjaannya saat ini belum jelas. Ia lulus dari California Institute of Technology pada tahun 2017. Jaksa AS untuk D.C., Jeanine Pirro, mengumumkan dakwaan terhadap Allen, termasuk masing-masing satu tuduhan penggunaan senjata api selama tindakan kejahatan dengan kekerasan dan penyerangan terhadap petugas federal menggunakan senjata berbahaya, dengan kemungkinan penambahan dakwaan lainnya. Ia mencatat niat Allen untuk menyebabkan kerugian maksimal dan mengatakan bahwa sidang dakwaan dijadwalkan pada hari Senin di pengadilan federal.
