The suspect, identified by law enforcement as Cole Allen, is a 31-year-old teacher and Caltech graduate hailing from Torrance, California. According to police reports, Allen rushed a security checkpoint and was aggressively moving toward the ballroom where the President was located. He was reportedly armed with a shotgun and multiple knives.

The threat was neutralized in the hotel lobby by Secret Service agents, who managed to pin the suspect to the floor before he could enter the main event space. Interim DC Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll later confirmed that Allen appeared to be a “lone actor,” and while he was believed to be a guest at the hotel, there was no ongoing threat to the general public following his capture.
