Cole Allen, 31, from Torrance, California, opened fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel. This was where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was being held. President Donald Trump and the others are safe, but the dinner was cancelled for the night. Trump said that he “fought like hell” to resume the dinner, but indicated that it would be rescheduled. One of Allen’s activities involved developing games, one of them was a first shooter game. This is a developing story.
From Fox News:
The man accused of opening fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been identified as Cole Allen, 31, a computer scientist from Torrance, California who went from designing first-person shooter games to becoming an alleged shooter himself.
According to his LinkedIn profile and online records, Allen’s life and career trace an accomplished path as a computer scientist, engineer and independent game developer, even building a shooter role-playing game called “First Law.”
In September 2013, according to his online profile, he enrolled in the highly competitive California Institute of Technology, known as CalTech, to pursue a BS in mechanical engineering, graduating in 2017. CalTech confirmed to Fox News Digital that a student named Cole Allen graduated from the school in 2017.
In the summer of 2014, he wrote that he landed another competitive spot as a summer undergraduate research student fellow at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he said he contributed to astrophysics research.
That summer, his profile says, he created “First Law,” a physics-based role-playing shooter game based on realistic two-dimensional space combat. At CalTech, he also built offensive and defensive robotic systems, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He later made “Bohrdom,” a complex 2-D physics-based video game that he described as a “combination of a racing game with a bullet hell as experienced by self-propelled pinballs,” released on the popular Steam gaming platform, according to his profile.
Beginning in March 2020, his LinkedIn profile says, he joined C2 Education, a tutoring company, enrolling at California State University, Dominguez Hills, in 2022 to pursue an MS in computer science, graduating in May 2025. That school also confirmed that a person by the same name graduated with a master’s degree that year.
A Dec. 30, 2024 Facebook post from C2 Education congratulated “Cole Allen of C2 Education Torrence on being honored as December teacher of the month.” A photo matching that of Allen was attached to the post.
According to Federal Election Commission records, Allen donated $25 to Kamala Harris during the 2024 election cycle.

The 48-hour rule is invoked, and may be extended to the 96 hour rule.
For a guy who went to CalTech he certainly didn’t think shit through very well.
Then you have the usual dipshits either trying to distance themselves from their, “Trump is literally Hitler!” rhetoric or doubling down on the shit.
Either way they both need extensive recalibration.
His neighbor said; ” he may be on the spectrum”.”
Apparently, his spectrum is now ex-alive after undergoing kinetic recalibration of his genetic material.
I cannot find the report of his de-living that I read (mis-read), he is probably still alive.
Of course he is alive. He was not hit and is in custody. What have you been reading? Did you no see the pics of him stripped, prostrate and in cuffs?
Ugly, pasty white boy.
From what I’ve read, he’s mulato, 50/50 “Negro”/white
Correct. By his own admission, in his so called email manifesto.
I got it confused with another shooting report I was reading.
I’d say he’s roundabought 520 Khz.
“Kenneth, what is the frequency?”
As he rots in jail the rest of his life, someone should swing by his cell every day and remind him that he failed, and destroyed his life
Fact.
Won’t work for them; in his “manifesto” he admits he is half Negro and half “white.”
Just like Barry Sotero.
If Obama had a son.
Half black, half white.
100% stupid regardless. FAFO memes now have a new face to use.
So, one of those two-tone idiots from Cheron?
You forgot to narrow the nose.
Media wants him to be white:

He learned really quick that FPS’s (first-person shooters for us non-gamers) don’t equate to real-world training and police response. I spend too much time reading YouTube comments, and it’s funny when someone comments on a Forgotten Weapons video about how many “kills” they got with a particular gun when they served in “X” unit, referencing a video game, especially when the Stolen Valor Online Enforcement Agency comes out in droves without getting the reference. “Who’d you serve with, no one got 500 kills in Iraq.”
People like this, and the kid whose brains baked into the rooftop, and the golf course weirdo with the world’s worst SKS desecration, have got to know that their chances of taking Trump out of the picture are very slim. Rooftop kid had the best chance but killed a completely innocent bystander instead. I really think that it’s more a mental disease, exacerbated by the instant infamy that online “news” and social media sources generate nowadays, that motivates these people to see how close they can get.
I see Sapper3307 just posted an accurate picture of how the media will doubtlessly describe the shooter. He looks mixed, so let’s say he’s got one White grandparent. He took a shot, so he’s White. Obama, on the other hand, being 50/50, was America’s First Black President. Odd how that works. Queue a “thorough” background investigation revealing this guy’s service in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary Delayed Entry Program for 1.5 weeks back in 2015, after stellar service in the Civil Air Patrol for a one-hour orientation when he was 14. A White military veteran, doubtlessly with PTSD from all the Covenant he killed in HALO years ago.
Left/libtards blame Trump immediately:
https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/2048244129503510957?s=20
That pretty much is a given and goes without saying. Like, what the hell else is new?
What I foung amusing is because so many media were at the event they are they doing their best to make it all about them. They have been interviewing each other and one even showed up in a tux because it was just too hard to change clothes?
The whole left wing establishment has a serious NPD.
Wolf Blitzers description of the idiots weapon as very, very serious was amusing.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Describes WHCA Dinner Shooting Second by Second
“All of a sudden, a guy with a weapon–and it was a very, very serious weapon–just starts shooting, and I happened to be a few feet away from him as he was shooting. The first thing that went through my mind was, ‘Is he trying to shoot me?’ And I don’t think he was trying to shoot me, but I was very close to him as the gunshots were fired,” he said.
Wow, the Pres, VP and almost the entire cabinet were in the room and he still he thought he was the most important guy there. Not to mention all the media bigwigs that could buy and sell him.
👀 Boo!
Notice how wolf didn’t attempt to stop him if he was that close, but apparently very aware enough to give “accurate” description after the fact.
Well he is 78 years old so I give him a pass on stopping the armed gunman.
As opposed to a very frivolous weapon.
Anything that looks like a gun is a very, very serious weapon.
… to Wolfy.
and those poor women will have to get another gown! Can wear that old one in public again. Same for hairdo and facials. Geez…
Read that some of them were stealing the booze as they left.
Sure looks like it:

There could be an earthquake, and the left would blame it on DJT!
Well, if Trump hadn’t gotten elected, there wouldn’t be attempts on his life… so yeah, liberal logic says it’s his fault.
No, there were attempts before he was elected. It is clearly his fault for existing.
Hillary put the word out in 2015 that it was her turn as 0bama promised her and Trump should drop out.
Best not to get yourself unalived by being on hitlery’s list.
Why not? Everyone knows that Orange Man Bad is even the one who created Covid 19 and probably even cancer. He is to blame for everything bad!!!
Leftist A-holes be celebrating:

I wonder if any of the alphabet folks have visited that moron yet.
He seriously needs to spend a few hours in a USSS interview room.
I can’t imagine what radicalized him. 🙄
He was regular at the no king kong protests and another Chinese backed organization, the Wide Awakes ang of course a Harris donator. He probably should have touched based with TWA before getting all killy. Since their mission statement endorses non-violence.
The bastard momma’s boi is so brain washed he thinks those Venezuelan drug speed boats doing 50 mph were operated by “innocent fishermen.”
I don’t know if you are aware but bass fishing boats normally run 65 knots when heading to the fishing spot.
But they actually stop to fish.
True, but those Venezuelan fishing boats run 65 knots with 2000lbs of… chum.
I gotta wonder at this point what the street value of sea water in the Caribbean is? It has to have come up to at least a buck a gallon by now.
Plus the additives.
Maybe, but they don’t do it in the open ocean with a load of multiple bales or barrels of illicit drugs.
Or with 2 or 3 engines hanging off the back.
Big engines. Yuge.
According to the Epoch Times, a couple of those Venezuelan “fishermen” just had their fishing boat seized. It was loaded with over two tons of drugs.
Oh noes! Who knew?
The Sunday morning talking heads…
It’s been said that he was also a TEACHER, gee whiz, what a surprise, and now the third attempt on President Trump’s life, by the way, how many times did Conservatives make attempts on the lives of B. Hussein 0bama and Biden? Yeah, I thought so.
If Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, then Conservatives are from Earth and liberals are from Uranus!
If you do a search similar to “assassination attempts against Obama” or substitute ‘Biden’ you get a fair amount of listings, mostly for threats about as credible as “I’m gonna go to my truck and get my gun”. Supposedly in Obama’s first year in office, the Secret Service said the number of threats to Obama were reported to be on a similar level to threats against Bush and Clinton.
How many of those ended up in actual physical attempts? Correct answer: none.
Other than the idiot who shot at the White House, the woman who mailed ricin to him – most of the plots were loudmouthed idiots who hit law enforcement radar relatively early. Or was his FBI just more competent than ours now?
Can you clarify that? Like which presidents are we talking about that had the White House shot at? It certainly was more than two.
A gift box of Ricin isn’t even a slow Tuesday for Trump. It isn’t much more dangerous than a box of rat poison.
Ah here we go:
A ten year time line of best attempts to kill
HitlerTrump. From Canadians mailing Ricin to IRGC operatives sent on a mission. A host of autistic incels. Love the international flavor.https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/timeline-donald-trump-assassination-attempts-security-breaches-shooting-x65k3mc7q
Is that how Obama’s ears ended up that way? I’ve been curious. Was second attempt or the fourth?
I don’t know if you know this but I am going to spoil the surprise. People make threats against people all the time. 99.99% of the time it is nothing because people think about it and then get over whatever bad feel the other person gave them. Just ask any law enforcement officer about it.
These days they can’t get over it because one side is trying to convince their nutters that Trump is Hitler every single day and hoping that one of them will get lucky.
Not just talking about one or two people either. It is everyfuckingbody on the left.
The irony of them being present and possibly in danger from an assassination attempt certainly wasn’t lost on me. I suppose if they were introspective instead of narcissistic assholes they would think that maybe what they were doing might have impact on them; some even had their family members there.
But nope. More of the same.
His ears got that way from Michelle grabbing them during a BJ.
How does Michelle hold her liquor, “by the ears”.
Pretty sure Obama ears are due to his boyfriends hanging onto them..
That’s what SFC D said.
Yeah, I posted before I saw his post
Color me shocked. /sarc
I am just glad he wasn’t a veteran. If he had showed up to basic and gotten the boot after 5 weeks they would be talking about his PTSD from his service.
Supposedly an award winning teacher. Teacher of the year or some crap.
Getting real sick of the Left’s assassination culture.
The blinders will come off with this SPLC lawsuit, but denial is a long ass river.
Thats a start, now do Omar, Act Blue, Pelosi, et al..
Here is the gunman’s manifesto. It is short and to the point; “I hate Trump blah, blah, blah, [Democrat talking points]. I suck as a human, goodby cruel world, blah, blah, blah”
Has anyone checked on that weirdo from California that keeps posting simp Democratic talking point here and then runs away? It could literally be him.
https://nypost.com/2026/04/26/us-news/read-whcd-gunman-cole-allens-full-anti-trump-manifesto/
He has been MIA for some time now, unless Mark L. is his new nom de plume.
Stripped down and in the prone position.
That’s what life in prison will be for a failed assassin as yourself.
I think they had him buck nekkid, as that is why they put a space blanket over his ass. Maybe he received a cavity search for an explosive gerbil. Bet that won’t be the first in his future.
The Left’s assassin bench seems rather thin these days.
Based on their displayed talent pool, that whole “Revolution” thing they seem to want is going to be rather… painful…. for them.
Very.
Especially if there is a shortage of that prison staple known as “I Can’t Believe it’s Not KY.” I hear there is nothing worse than Big Bubba, one’s prison wife, going in dry.
I like to think someone spilled some really nasty shit right where his nose and mouth are. Or maybe a dog did put some shit there! One can only hope.
The looney TDS infected Progs and Drats are now saying that Trump staged the attack to improve his approval ratings and success in the midterms. Bet that is what the cuttlefish believes.
The media that was present are/will do their damnedest to spin their narrative, say his manifesto was created by AI, and it was all a hoax. All media that was present have all been debriefed and given the “true” timeline of events and talking points.
Liberals will soon be saying that Trump staged this attempt in order to justify the White House ballroom. You must admit, it does justify it.
