Family Tips Off Police on Shooting Suspect

0:00It's April 27th. This is Hartford News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Investigators are zeroing in on a shooting suspect named Cole Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old from Torrance, California. Officials familiar with the case leaked his name to the Associated Press, though police haven't confirmed it publicly yet. Earlier this week, new London police got a tip from Allen's own brother. Family members have received some disturbing writings from him that blasted President Donald Trump's administration and policies. According to sources, those notes painted Allen as someone calling himself a friendly federal assassin, raising major red flags for everyone involved. Law enforcement is still piecing together the full picture, but this family alert seems to have kicked off the investigation into the shooting. With tensions high around political violence, authorities are moving fast to connect the dots and keep things from escalating further.
