From NPR.

The man suspected of opening fire at last weekend’s White House Correspondents’ dinner in Washington has now appeared in federal court. Cole Allen of Torrance, California, is charged with trying to assassinate President Trump and with two other firearms allegations.

Authorities said Allen charged through a security perimeter at the Washington Hilton, where the annual event was taking place, before being stopped and arrested by law enforcement. One Secret Service agent was shot in his protective vest and not seriously injured.

Other charges against Allen include transporting a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce for use in a felony; and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.
