白宫记者协会晚宴枪手被追加恐怖主义指控：Cole Tomas Allen 面临终身监禁
美国司法部11月13日宣布，31岁的 Cole Tomas Allen 当天在位于华盛顿的美国哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院被一份五项罪名的替代起诉书指控，其中新增一项恐怖主义罪名，案件与2026年4月25日在 Washington Hilton 酒店举行的白宫记者协会晚宴枪击有关。哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官 Jeanine Ferris Pirro 公布了这份当天解封的起诉书。
新增罪名是持械实施恐怖主义行为，针对的是企图一级谋杀美国总统的行为，违反哥伦比亚特区刑法。Allen 此前已被控企图刺杀美国总统 Donald J. Trump、持致命武器袭击美国官员或雇员、为实施重罪跨州运输枪支弹药，以及在暴力犯罪中开枪。司法部说，Allen 面临的最高刑罚是终身监禁。起诉书只是指控，被告在被法院证明有罪之前推定无罪。
按起诉书所述，2026年晚宴于4月25日在 Washington Hilton 举行，特朗普总统在场。当晚8时30分过后不久，Allen 走近酒店露台层的一处美国特勤局（USSS）安检点，冲过其中一台磁力仪，朝总统所在的宴会厅楼梯方向跑去。
冲闯过程中，Allen 用一把 Mossberg Maverick 88 型12号口径泵动霰弹枪开火，一名特勤局警员胸部中枪一次。这名警员拔出佩枪向 Allen 开了五枪，Allen 随即倒地，被执法人员制服并逮捕。司法部说，Allen 膝部受了轻伤，但并未中枪。
Allen 被捕时身上有那把霰弹枪，枪膛里有一发已击发的弹壳；他还带有一把 Rock Island Armory 1911 型.38口径手枪、数十发未击发的12号霰弹与.38口径子弹、两把刀、四把匕首、多个刀鞘、多个枪套、一把尖嘴钳和一把剪线钳。
此案由联邦调查局（FBI）华盛顿外勤办公室调查，哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官办公室国家安全处的助理联邦检察官 Jocelyn Ballantine、Charles R. Jones 与 Adam P. Barry 负责起诉，案件编号为26cr98。
New Terrorism Charge Filed Against Alleged Shooter at White House Correspondents' Dinner: Cole Tomas Allen Faces Life in Prison
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on November 13 that Cole Tomas Allen, 31, was charged in a five-count superseding indictment unsealed that day in U.S. District Court in Washington, District of Columbia, adding a terrorism offense in connection with the April 25, 2026, shooting during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner at the Washington Hilton. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro for the District of Columbia announced the indictment.
The superseding indictment adds one count of act of terrorism while armed, for the attempted first-degree murder of the President of the United States, in violation of the D.C. criminal code. Allen previously was charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald J. Trump, assaulting an officer or employee of the United States with a deadly weapon, transporting a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with the intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. The Justice Department said the maximum penalty Allen faces is life imprisonment. An indictment is only an allegation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
According to the indictment, the 2026 dinner took place on April 25, 2026, at the Washington Hilton, and President Trump was present. Shortly after 8:30 p.m., Allen approached a U.S. Secret Service (USSS) security screening checkpoint on the Terrace Level of the hotel, sprinted through one of the magnetometers and ran toward the stairs leading to the ballroom where the president was located.
As he ran, Allen fired a Mossberg Maverick 88 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, hitting a USSS officer once in the chest. The officer drew his service weapon and fired five times at Allen. Allen fell to the ground, was restrained by law enforcement and was placed under arrest. The Justice Department said Allen suffered a minor injury to his knee but was not shot.
At the time of his arrest, Allen was in possession of the shotgun with one spent cartridge in the barrel. He also possessed a Rock Island Armory 1911 .38 caliber pistol, dozens of rounds of unspent 12-gauge shotgun ammunition and .38 caliber ammunition, two knives, four daggers, multiple sheaths, multiple holsters, needle nose pliers, and wire cutters.
The investigation is being conducted by the FBI Washington Field Office. The matter is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jocelyn Ballantine, Charles R. Jones, and Adam P. Barry of the National Security Section for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. The case number is 26cr98.
