A LinkedIn profile matching his name and photo described him as a teacher at C2 Education, a tutoring and test prep company. C2 awarded him the “teacher of the month” in December 2024, according to social media posts.

Allen graduated from the California Institute of Technology in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, according to the LinkedIn profile. 

A spokeswoman for Caltech told the New York Times that a person named Cole Allen had earned an undergraduate degree in 2017, but the school did not have any further information immediately available.

Allen’s neighbor, who gave the name Jeff Smith, told The Post that “maybe he could be on the spectrum.”

Federal Election Commission records show he donated $25 to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign in October 2024.

Dramatic video posted on social media by Trump shows Allen opening fire and rushing toward the ballroom.

A law enforcement officer was shot, with the bullet hitting his bulletproof vest. Read more, see photos and video here. 

Iran makes frantic move to store overflowing oil supply — in sign regime is nearing brink 

Georgia Worrell / NEW YORK POST 

Iran is scrambling to get a massive crude carrier to Kharg Island, in a sign that President Trump’s blockade is bringing the regime’s oil-critical hub — which controls roughly 90% of Iranian crude oil exports — to the brink, according to a report.

Tehran has been forced to take a 30-year-old oil tanker, Nasha, out of retirement as Kharg Island nears its maximum onshore capacity, Gulf News reported Friday.

The vessel, which has been anchored empty for the past several years, is being revived as floating storage for Iran’s teeming crude supply, the outlet reported. 

The tired oil tanker is currently en route to the Islamic Republic’s primary crude oil export terminal, according to data from TankerTrackers.com. 

The frantic move comes as Kharg Island’s remaining spare storage could fill up in just 12 to 13 days, with Iran’s net oil inflow running around 1 million barrels per day, analysts told Gulf News. 

Congestion at the regime’s most critical oil stronghold could spiral into a major national economic problem for the regime, the outlet noted.

It was not immediately clear whether the trip indicates a second round of talks is imminent.

Trump calls for 2020 presidential election to be ‘permanently wiped from the books’ if Southern Poverty Law Center convicted of fraud

Chris Bradford / NEW YORK POST  

President Trump on Friday called for the 2020 election to be “permanently wiped from the books” if the Southern Poverty Law Center is convicted of making fraudulent payments totaling $3 million to members of white supremacist groups the organization claimed to fight.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the greatest political scams in American History, has been charged with FRAUD,” Trump wrote in a fiery Truth Social post. 

“This is another Democrat Hoax, along with Act Blue, and many others.” 

Trump then called for the results of the 2020 election – which he lost to Joe Biden – to be wiped if the group is found guilty of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering offenses. 

“If it is true, the 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect!” he said. 

The SPLC was indicted Tuesday – with prosecutors claiming $3 million worth of donated funds was secretly funneled to groups, including the...Read more, and see video here.
