"Live from NPR News in Washington on Corv.
of staff Susie Wiles is convening a security meeting. This follows last Saturday's shooting
“at a White House journalist dinner in Washington, D.C. President Trump and other administration”
officials were in attendance. The meeting is intended to review the procedures that worked to stop the suspect. The suspect in the shooting is expected to appear in federal court today and PR has identified the suspect as Cole Allen. FBI Director Cash Patel told Fox News today investigators are tracing his movements. "What we're going to do is continue to look at the interviews that we've conducted, the dozens and dozens of interviews we've
conducted over the weekend and put that in one place to show you what he did, how he got there, when he got there, when he arrived, how he got down to the area in question, how he was able to get through security undetected." The suspect lived in Torrance, California. Investigators there are working to learn more about him as Steve Futterman reports.
“FBI agents went door to door yesterday speaking with neighbors of the suspect, trying to figure”
out what may have led him to carry out his attack at the Correspondent's dinner. Those who know Allen say they can't figure it out. Moses, Jim Bezian, whose church Allen attended when he was in college, says he was a popular person. He was faithful into the comments,
and he was always friendly and courteous to everyone. Officials believe Allen traveled
from California to Washington by train, possibly as a way to avoid detection by bypassing more stringent security measures on air flights. For MPR News, I'm Steve Futterman in Los Angeles.

Charlie Bullock at the Institute for Law and AI says that's easier said than done.
