Washington: Authorities identified Cole Thomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, as the suspect who opened fire near the White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 26, wounding a Secret Service officer and prompting a large security response. Officials reported the suspect's academic and employment background and cited statements from acquaintances during the initial investigation. The suspect is a California Institute of Technology alumnus with a 2017 mechanical engineering degree and a 2025 master's in computer science; employer posts noted a December 2024 'teacher of the month' recognition. Investigators secured the scene on April 26, are reviewing digital and institutional records, and have not released a motive as the criminal inquiry continues this week.
