DOJ drops chilling detail about WHCD shooter that proves this was no spur-of-the-moment decision

The Department of Justice (DOJ) just dropped a bombshell detail about the man accused of opening fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last weekend. Newly released images show Cole Tomas Allen posing with weapons in a hotel room just hours before the attack, proving this was anything but a spur-of-the-moment decision.

According to the BBC, prosecutors filed a memorandum this week that includes selfies Allen allegedly took at around 8:03 P.M. on April 25, less than an hour before he charged past security at the Washington Hilton. The photos, submitted as part of the government’s motion to keep Allen detained pending trial, show him strapped with a shoulder holster, a sheathed knife, and a bag of ammunition.
