WHCD shooting suspect's writings, analyzed: ‘I don’t expect forgiveness’

The day after a man opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, authorities are combing through a message sent by the shooting suspect, seeking to understand what allegedly led him from his life as a respected California teacher to a would-be assassin.

“Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused,” reads a note that authorities say was sent by the suspect, Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old from Torrance, California, who worked part-time as a teacher and also developed video games, according to public records.

The note, which Allen allegedly sent to family members before the attack, said he intended to target administration officials and expressed his political anger, while noting, “I don’t expect forgiveness.”

CNN’s Kristen Holmes reports on the note and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, former assistant DHS director Juliette Kayyem and more break down the value the suspect’s writings will have for investigators.
