The alleged shooter at the WHCD has been apprehended and is in custody. Some of our favorite tweeps were on hand for the event and shared video of the shooter.

Comfortably Smug shared video of the shooter on the ground. He is clearly male.

Karol Markowicz (@karol) ~ NEWS: The attempted shooter at the White House Correspondent's Dinner is 31 year old Cole Tomas Allen from Torrance, California and he is in custody.

Karol Markowicz is known to have first scoops on identities often. Obviously, this is alleged, but we share it because she is consistently reliable.

Steve Lookner (@lookner) ~ Unconfirmed, but Karol has a good record with these kind of things.

Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ She always gets the name first. The best.

RedWave Press (@RedWavePress) ~ BREAKING: The White House Correspondent's Dinner shooter has been identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen from Torrance, California.

Internet sleuths, go to work.

Again, this is not confirmed, but this is early information.

Red Eagle Politics (@RedEaglePatriot) ~ There’s an educator with that name in Torrance that donated $25 to Kamala — not sure if that’s the same guy, but if so, he’s 100% a leftist. How did he get so close to the President?

Sour Patch Mom (@sourpatchlyds) ~ I thought one was dead?

Early reports were he was dead, but the video Comfortably Smug shared shows a very alive captive.

Thank goodness the shooter was caught and no one else was injured. What a scary night!

Anthony Abides (@AnthonyAbides) ~ Better capture his socials before they're wiped.
