• Potential motive: The suspected gunman who charged through a security checkpoint at last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner appeared to be targeting Trump administration officials, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN.

• How the incident unfolded: President Donald Trump and top officials were rushed to safety at the Washington Hilton after shots were fired near stairs leading down to the ballroom, sending attendees ducking for cover. The suspect, who police say was armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives, “got off a few shots” before he was subdued by law enforcement, according to Blanche.

• California man in custody: Authorities identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old from California, three sources told CNN. He will face several charges, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said. FBI agents assembled overnight outside a home linked to Allen in Torrance, a Los Angeles suburb.
