US Attorney General: Shooting Suspect May Have Targeted Trump

On April 26, Acting US Attorney General Branch stated that a search warrant has been executed against the suspect accused of firing shots at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. It is believed that the suspect traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago and then to Washington, D.C., and that the suspect purchased two firearms in the past few years. Branch also indicated that the suspect is believed to have targeted government officials, possibly aiming at President Trump. The suspect was reportedly staying in a hotel at the time and is set to face charges in federal court on Monday morning. The suspect will face multiple charges, including assaulting federal law enforcement officers, discharging a firearm, and attempting to kill federal law enforcement officers. It is currently unclear whether the shooting incident is related to Iran.
