DC gala shooting suspect aired grievances against Trump in writings

The writings, sent shortly before shots were fired Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, made repeated references to President Donald Trump without naming him directly and alluded to grievances over a range of administration actions, including U.S. strikes on boats accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Investigators are treating the writings of Cole Tomas Allen, 31, along with a trail of social media posts and interviews with family members, as some of the clearest evidence yet of the suspect’s mindset and possible motives. #trump #whitehousedinner #news Subscribe: http://smarturl.it/AssociatedPress Read more: https://apnews.com​ This video may be available for archive licensing via https://newsroom.ap.org/home
