While President Trump, First Lady Melania, Vice President Vance, and top administration officials were being rushed to safety after several shots rang out at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night, President Trump suggested it was a “lone wolf” event. But was it?
The suspected shooter’s name is Cole Thomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California. And before he allegedly charged a Secret Service checkpoint armed with a shotgun, handgun, and multiple knives, the Torrence, CA, “Teacher of the Month” was a golden boy of the academic world.
The suspected shooter is arrested on the scene of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Cole Allen was recently named “Teacher of the Month” in Terrance, CA.
In a resurfaced 2017 ABC7 Los Angeles interview, a young Cole Allen appears as a brilliant mechanical engineering student at Caltech. He’s showcasing his invention: a prototype emergency brake for wheelchairs designed to help the disabled and elderly. He speaks like the classic overachiever — tutor, inventor, NASA-affiliated talent, and someone who seemed dedicated to using his gifts for good.

But social media sleuths are suggesting there is something off about his speech or the cadence of his delivery in the uncovered video.
Pay attention to his speech patterns, movements, and demeanor. Many observers are noting what looks like clear signs he is on the autism spectrum — highly intelligent but socially awkward. A common remark after watching the video is a reminder of how easily vulnerable individuals can become easy targets for manipulation by outsiders.

This wasn’t some hardened radical jihadist or Antifa street fighter. He wasn’t someone who the Southern Poverty Law Center was paying to sow discord at a high-profile rally or protest. This was a peaceful, high-IQ engineering mind who graduated from Caltech, one of the most prestigious technical institutions in the world, and later earned a Master’s in Computer Science. He was a tutor — a game developer — and a man who once built things to help people. What went wrong? Was he so consumed by hate for President Trump after watching Democrat leaders like Senator Chuck Schumer, Rep. Ilhan Omar, or Hakeem Jeffries, CNN, or MSNBC on a loop that he snapped? Or is someone or some group behind this attempted assassination, taking advantage of him?

So the burning question the dishonest corporate media (who were seated at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and experienced the fear first-hand of what President Trump and his family have to deal with every day) doesn’t want you asking is:
How does a wheelchair-brake inventor with ties to NASA and a seemingly non-violent background suddenly turn into a calculated gunman who tries to bypass elite Secret Service protection at an event attended by the President and most of his top cabinet members?
