WTF is going on?


Trump knew?


..........

Edited to add info: (From Al Jazeera) "The chief of Washington, DC’s police department said investigators think the suspect was staying as a guest at the Washington Hilton, where the annual dinner was held, though they have not yet established a motive."

"Facebook posts appearing to be linked to Allen indicate he was recognised as 'Teacher of the Month' in December 2024 by the Torrance branch of C2 Education, a national private tutoring and test-preparation company for college-bound students."

"A LinkedIn profile under the suspect’s name describes him as a 'mechanical engineer and computer scientist by degree, independent game developer by experience and teacher by birth."

"Allen contributed $25 to a Democratic Party political action committee in support of Kamala Harris for president in 2024, according to federal campaign finance records."
