Gunman with Manifesto Detained at Correspondents Dinner
A gunman attempted to breach security at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday evening at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., prompting a rapid evacuation of attendees, including White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and his wife, Katie Miller.
Authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, who was detained near a security checkpoint while carrying multiple weapons. Officials said Allen's manifesto listed Trump administration officials as targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest, with Miller included due to his role as Homeland Security Advisor. No senior officials were injured, and the situation was contained within minutes after security personnel instructed guests to take cover or exit via controlled routes.
Video footage of the evacuation captured the Millers being rushed from their table by Secret Service agents. In one widely shared angle, Stephen Miller, positioned behind his eight-months-pregnant wife, appeared to grasp her upper body as they moved in single file toward an exit, with the threat reportedly coming from behind. The image sparked online accusations that he used her as a human shield. Other clips...
