April 21-24: He traveled by train from L.A. to Chicago, then Chicago to D.C., checking into the hotel the day before the event with a reservation for the weekend. Shortly before the attack: Allen scheduled an email to auto-send to family and a former employer, with an attached "Apology and Explanation." He referred to himself as the "Friendly Federal Assassin." Night of the dinner: About 40 minutes after President Trump arrived, Allen "ran through the magnetometer holding a long gun. As he did so, U.S. Secret Service personnel assigned to the checkpoint heard a loud gunshot." The response: A Secret Service agent — struck in the chest but protected by a bulletproof vest — returned fire multiple times. Allen "fell to the ground and suffered minor injuries but was not shot." The charges: Allen, who appeared in court yesterday, faces three federal counts: attempting to assassinate the president, transporting a firearm across state lines with intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. He faces up to life in prison if convicted of the assassination count alone. Read the FBI affidavit.

Even a glance at Shy’tyra Burton’s life reveals her need for the sort of federal government assistance that helps disabled Americans stay in their homes. Born two months prematurely into a poor family in Philadelphia, unable to breathe or swallow without tubes and largely confined to medical facilities until age 4, Burton was diagnosed with a litany of developmental and intellectual disabilities that left her with an IQ below 70.
