The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect told law enforcement after his arrest Saturday night that he was targeting
Trump administration officials, senior federal law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told Fox News.
Cole Allen said he planned to “shoot Trump administration officials,” the sources said.
Authorities have said Allen rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the event at the Washington Hilton hotel while armed with multiple weapons. He then opened fire, striking a Secret Service officer in his ballistic vest.
Agents fired back at Allen, who was not struck. Both the Secret Service officer and Allen were taken to the hospital.
The FBI and local law enforcement secured the suspect’s home in Torrance, California, overnight, Fox News previously learned.
A federal judge in the Central District of California is expected to sign a search warrant, the U.S. Attorney’s Office told Fox News. Once the warrant is approved, the FBI will be able to search the suspect’s home. Obtaining the warrant could take several hours.
