Teacher’s Chilling ‘I Don’t Expect Forgiveness’ Note After Shooting at White House Dinner

Authorities are reviewing messages linked to 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen. He is suspected of firing shots outside the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. In an apology note to his family, Allen wrote, “I don’t expect forgiveness.” He said he targeted administration officials out of political anger and called the president a traitor. Allen graduated in mechanical engineering from Caltech in 2017. He taught in Torrance, California, built a prototype emergency brake for wheelchairs and even released an indie video game on Steam. Investigators say Allen traveled by train from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., then tried to storm past security. He allegedly shot at a Secret Service agent wearing a bulletproof vest. He now faces federal charges of assaulting an officer and using a firearm.
