The individual suspected in the shooting near the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner at the Washington Hilton has been identified as Cole Allen, a 31-year-old computer scientist from Torrance, California.<\/p>\n

Based on public records and online information, Allen has a background in engineering and game development. He is said to have created a shooter-style role-playing game called First Law<\/em> and later worked on a physics-based game titled Bohrdom<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He later earned a master\u2019s degree in computer science from California State University, Dominguez Hills, completing it in 2025.<\/p>\n

Professionally, he worked in education with C2 Education, where he was recognized as \u201cTeacher of the Month\u201d in late 2024.<\/p>\n
