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.
