Black suit, gun holster, knife: White House event shooter's selfie before attack

A new court filing says Cole Allen took an armed selfie in his hotel room before allegedly trying to breach security at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner and kill President Donald Trump. Prosecutors say the image, travel plans and online tracking of Trump's movements support their bid to keep him in custody pending trial.

The 31-year-old from Torrance, California, was captured when he tried to race past security barricades near the hotel’s ballroom, prompting an exchange of gunfire with Secret Service agents tasked with safeguarding the event. (Photo: AP)
