Teacher Arrested at White House with Guns, Knives

0:00On April 27, a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, California, got arrested Saturday night at the White House Correspondent's dinner-in, Washington. Cole Thomas Allen tried rushing a security checkpoint with two guns and knives while President Trump and top officials were inside. Authorities say he opposes Trump policies hard. Allen works part-time at a college admissions coaching firm and dabbles as a video game developer. Minus before, he sent family a rambling thousand-word message, calling himself a friendly federal killer, venting about recent government moves. Without naming Trump directly, it mixed apologies, gripes, and goodbyes. Folks who knew him are stunned. No criminal record shows up in court databases. He donated $25 to a Democratic PAC backing Kamala Harris and lives with his parents in a quiet neighborhood. A professor remembers him as a top student in computer science classes, always Fred Row and polite. New details reveal Allen legally bought a 38-calibre semi-auto pistol, last October, and a 12-gay shotgun the year before.

1:06He's facing charges like using a firearm in a violent crime and assaulting a federal officer, with more possibly coming. Investigators keep digging into his online post and background while his community reels from the shock of this educated guy's dark turn. Stay tuned as more unfolds on this wild story.
