Investigators on Sunday said the gunman who tried to storm a gala dinner attended by Donald Trump planned to assassinate the US president and multiple top officials. The suspect, widely named as Cole Allen, 31, had written in a note shared with his family shortly before the attack that his targets would be "prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest."
