Shooter Targets Trump at White House Correspondents' Dinner

On the night of the White House Correspondents' Dinner, a shooter named Allen attempted to attack President Donald Trump, who was attending the event with First Lady Melania Trump. Armed with a shotgun and handguns, Allen rushed toward the ballroom but was intercepted by security after firing at least five shots.

Law enforcement officials confirmed that Allen had a hit list that included Trump and left a note expressing his grievances against the Trump administration. He had traveled from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. and had purchased firearms without his parents' knowledge.

Allen's sister alerted authorities about his radical tendencies, and he had been training with firearms. He was recognized as a brilliant student and had a background in engineering and teaching.

The incident occurred at the Washington Hilton, where the dinner was held, marking a significant security breach during a high-profile event.
