Leading association response; rescheduling dinner
A Secret Service officer's ballistic vest stopped a shotgun round at the Washington Hilton on Saturday night. Two days later, federal prosecutors charged the shooter, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, with attempting to assassinate the President. Allen had traveled three days by Amtrak from Los Angeles, checked into the hotel as a guest, and walked a long gun straight through a magnetometer before opening fire near the entrance to the ballroom where Donald Trump was expected to speak.
