Trump Event Shooter Charged With 'Attempt To Assassinate' US President

The man accused in the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, DC, on Saturday was arraigned in a federal court on charges of trying to assassinate the US President and two firearms crimes. If convicted, Cole Tomas Allen, 31, faces a life sentence. Represented by two assistant public defenders, Allen entered no plea during the arraignment. One of his lawyers, Tezira Abe, said that Allem doesn't have a criminal record and “is presumed innocent at this time,” news agency AP reported.
