A security guard was stationed at the Torrance church, where the Allen family was affiliated, following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect’s identification as Cole Allen, 31.
The church declined to comment and requested privacy for parishioners, while its website removed a leadership page listing a man sharing the suspect’s father’s name.
Law enforcement reopened Gramercy Ave. near the Allen home, and FBI agents visited neighbors, as media presence remained outside both the church and the family’s residence.
