Cole Toma Allen, a 31-year-old from Torrance, California, has been arrested and is set to face federal charges following a shooting scare at the White House Correspondents' Dinner held on a Saturday night. The U.S.

Attorney's Office, led by Todd Blanch, has filed charges against him, which include two counts related to the use of a firearm during a violent crime and assault on a federal officer. Interim Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department, Jeffrey W. Carroll, confirmed that Allen was armed with multiple weapons, including a shotgun, handgun, and several knives.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and security personnel were deployed around the city as a precaution. The incident occurred outside the ballroom where the event was taking place, attended by top government officials, journalists, and dignitaries, including President Donald Trump.
