The family of White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting suspect Cole Tomas Allen has revealed his radical plans to 'fix the world' as his manifesto comes to light.
Allen, a 31-year-old educator from Torrance, California, was seen trying to rush past a security checkpoint while carrying a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives on Saturday evening.
He engaged in a gunfight with Secret Service agents before they subdued him and took him into custody. One agent was hit in his bulletproof vest and is expected to make a full recovery.
Evidence discovered on Allen's electronic devices and from his writings suggests that he aimed to target members of the administration present at the dinner.
Family members informed law enforcement that Allen had shared some of his unsettling writings with them before the White House dinner attack, which led one of them to notify the police.
Allen's affiliation to 'The Wide Awakes' group has also been revealed, with a senior US official disclosing that he had participated in a No Kings protest in California.
Authorities also discovered anti-Trump and anti-Christian sentiments on his social media profiles, NY Post reported.
US Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated that the suspect is facing preliminary charges related to firearm use and assaulting an officer with a dangerous weapon, but additional charges will be filed as more information emerges in this evolving situation.
