华盛顿——代理司法部长托德·布兰奇周日表示，调查人员认为，冲击白宫记者协会晚宴外安检点的武装男子目标为特朗普总统政府的成员。
“基于目前对事件初步的调查了解，我们确实认为他的目标是政府官员，”布兰奇在接受《与玛格丽特·布伦南面对面》采访时说道。
这位代理司法部长表示，调查人员仍在调查嫌疑人的作案动机，并正在与其相识的人员谈话。他称涉案枪手目前未配合当局调查。
执法人员逮捕了来自加州托兰斯市31岁的科尔·艾伦，并表示他在冲击晚宴场外安检点时携带了一把霰弹枪、一把手枪和多把刀具。当时特朗普总统、副总统J·D·万斯、内阁官员以及数十名记者正聚集于此，纪念第一修正案。警方认为他是单独作案。
总统、第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普以及万斯在特勤局护送下离开主席台，以应对宴会厅外响起的枪声。他们并未受伤。在场的其他内阁官员，包括国防部长皮特·赫格西、国务卿马可·卢比奥以及卫生与公众服务部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪，均被安保人员迅速带离现场。
特朗普周六晚间对记者表示，一名特勤局特工在袭击中受伤，但因其穿着防弹背心而未受重伤。布兰奇称调查人员认为该特工是被嫌疑人枪击的。
警方周六晚间表示，涉案枪手是晚宴举办地华盛顿希尔顿酒店的一名宾客。布兰奇表示，嫌疑人据称乘火车前往华盛顿特区，路线为从洛杉矶到芝加哥，再从芝加哥前往首都。
哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官珍妮娜·皮尔罗周六表示，他将面临两项指控：在暴力犯罪中使用枪支，以及使用危险武器袭击联邦官员。
但布兰奇表示，随着调查继续，涉案枪手可能面临其他联邦指控。
“除这两项指控外，还有多项联邦指控可能适用，但这取决于我们能否弄清他的动机、意图以及他决定实施昨晚袭击行为的预谋程度，”他说道。
枪击事件引发了混乱，晚宴宾客纷纷躲到桌子下方避险。尽管此次袭击引发了人们对活动安保的质疑，但总统和政府官员均称赞特勤局对袭击做出了迅速反应。
特朗普对记者表示，总统职位是一个“危险的职业”，并表示此次袭击不会阻止他继续履职。

Blanche says authorities believe suspect in attack at press dinner was targeting Trump administration officials

Washington — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that investigators believe the armed man who charged a security checkpoint outside the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner was targeting members of President Trump’s administration.
“We do believe, based upon just a very preliminary start to understanding what happened, that he was targeting members of the administration,” Blanche said in an interview with “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”
The acting attorney general said investigators are still looking into the suspect’s motivation and speaking with people who knew him. He said the alleged gunman is not cooperating with authorities.
Law enforcement apprehended 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, and said he was armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives when he stormed the security checkpoint outside the dinner, where Mr. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Cabinet officials and scores of journalists were gathered to honor the First Amendment. Police believe he acted alone.
The president, first lady Melania Trump and Vance were whisked off the dais by Secret Service in response to the shots that rang out outside the ballroom. They were not injured. Other Cabinet officials in attendance, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., were hustled out of the room by security.
One Secret Service agent was injured in the attack, but was protected by a bulletproof vest, Mr. Trump told reporters late Saturday. Blanche said investigators believe the agent was shot by the suspect.
Police said Saturday night that the alleged shooter was a guest at the Washington Hilton, the hotel where the dinner is held. The suspect is believed to have traveled to Washington, D.C., by train, going from Los Angeles to Chicago, and then Chicago to the nation’s capital, Blanche said.
He is expected to face two charges: using a firearm during a violent crime and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said Saturday.
But Blanche said the alleged gunman could face other federal charges as the investigation continues.
“There’s a lot of federal charges that could be in play beyond those two charges, but it depends on us understanding his motive, his intent, his premeditation of what led into him deciding he was going to do what he did last night,” he said.
Chaos erupted as the shots were fired, sending dinner guests scrambling to take cover under tables. While the attack raised questions about the security of the event, the president and administration officials have praised the Secret Service for their swift response to the attack.
Mr. Trump told reporters that the presidency is a “dangerous profession,” and said the attack would not deter him from doing his job.
