A former student of Cole Tomas Allen, the suspect in the White House shooting, described him as a 'completely average guy' who showed no signs of being capable of such actions.
Allen, a 31-year-old Caltech graduate, discharged his weapon outside the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and knives.
He had recently been awarded 'Teacher of The Month' at C2 Education, a private tutoring and test preparation organization.
Allen obtained a master's degree in computer science from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and served as an educator at C2 Education.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that Allen told police he was pursuing 'administration officials' but was likely not aiming at any specific individual and was acting alone.
