Trump involved in another shooting incident, suspect’s background revealed

Last Saturday evening, during a White House press dinner held at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, a shocking shooting occurred**,** the suspect is 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen**,** who was subdued on the spot after opening fire at the security checkpoint.**

U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that U.S. President Donald Trump and his officials are highly likely to be targets.

Following the incident, many media outlets began digging into Allen’s background. Allen is from California, holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Caltech, and obtained a master’s degree in computer science from California State University in 2025.

According to LinkedIn, Allen has long worked as a part-time instructor at educational institutions, was named outstanding teacher of the month in 2024, and claims to be an independent game developer.

Suspect’s other identity: developer of indie game “Bohrdom”

Allen indeed released an indie game called “Bohrdom” on Steam**,** priced at only $2, and it was launched as early as 2018. It is a skill-based asymmetrical fighting game based on chemical models, combining bullet hell and racing elements. He single-handedly handled the game’s coding and physics engine.

However, the game hardly gained any attention after its release. SteamDB data shows that the highest concurrent online players before the shooting incident was only two, and Allen also mentioned he was developing a space combat game tentatively titled “First Law”.

Players flood Steam with sarcastic comments

After the shooting incident was exposed, the “Bohrdom” Steam review section saw a large influx of players.

The game’s peak concurrent online players rose to 22 last Sunday. Steam players even jokingly added tags like “Shooting” and “Assassination” to the game, but the game itself does not contain these elements.

Many players bought the game just to leave comments, but most played less than 2 hours, below the refund threshold.

The comment section was filled with sarcastic remarks, with some players saying the money spent on the game would turn into bullets fired at the White House;** others mocked the rushed nature of this shooting-themed game, sarcastically suggesting the developer’s next project would have to wait until after a 25-year prison sentence**; other comments ridiculed the game as a complete failure as a shooter, criticizing the interface for errors, mocking the failed shooting incident.

The game appears to have been discontinued, suspect faces federal charges

However, the “Crypto City” editorial team checked the game page and found that** “Bohrdom” is currently no longer available for purchase or download on Steam, seemingly taken down by the officials.** The game media outlet IGN has reached out to Steam for comment but has not received a response.

After Allen’s arrest, Washington federal prosecutor Jeanine Pirro stated that he faces charges of using a firearm during a violent crime and assaulting federal officers with a dangerous weapon.

On Monday, U.S. time, Allen will appear in federal court for formal arraignment. U.S. law enforcement confirmed to The Associated Press that Allen was carrying legally purchased semi-automatic pistols and shotguns at the time of the incident, and authorities are continuing to investigate his motives.
