Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed Sunday that the alleged gunman accused in Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting in Washington, D.C., appears to have traveled from Los Angeles through Chicago to the nation’s capital by train.<\/p>\n

“What we have learned and what they\u2019ve learned just overnight is that it appears he traveled from Los Angeles through Chicago to Washington, D.C., and it appears he traveled by train during both legs of that trip,” Blanche told Fox News’s Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.”<\/p>\n

“The investigation is rapidly developing,” he added.<\/p>\n

Authorities executed multiple search warrants overnight in Los Angeles and Washington, including at a hotel room where the suspect was staying, according to Blanche. Investigators are also reviewing devices and communications recovered during the searches.<\/p>\n

“Law enforcement executed multiple search warrants last night, not only in Los Angeles but also in Washington, D.C., in the hotel room where the suspect was staying, and they executed search warrants on devices, and they\u2019re going through that information right now,” Blanche said.<\/p>\n

Blanche said investigators are still examining the motive, but early evidence suggests the suspect may have been targeting members of the Trump administration<\/a>. He cautioned that the case remains in its early stages.<\/p>\n

“As far as motivation, we are still looking into that,” Blanche said. “It appears he was targeting members of the administration, but I say that generally because that\u2019s all we know right now.”<\/p>\n

Bream asked whether the use of rail travel instead of flying may indicate an effort to avoid airport security<\/a> records or TSA search. Blanche said authorities have not yet determined why the suspect chose the route.<\/p>\n

“Why he did \u2014 that we don\u2019t know at this point, but it could be the reasons you just described. It could be other reasons,” Blanche said. “We don\u2019t know whether he had the firearms with him.”<\/p>\n

Blanche added that investigators believe the suspect purchased the firearms within the past several years, though authorities are still working to establish how the weapons were transported.<\/p>\n

“It does appear that he purchased those firearms within the past couple of years,” Blanche said. “That could be another reason why he traveled by train because he had the firearms with him, but I\u2019m speculating there.”<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors are expected to pursue initial charges tied to firearm use during a violent crime and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, with additional charges possible as evidence develops.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t know what charges could come later. It depends on what evidence we develop,” Blanche said. “But right now those two charges are the ones that we expect.”<\/p>\n

Blanche also praised the response from security personnel and law enforcement agencies, saying they prevented the suspect from breaching the security perimeter near President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The reality is he didn\u2019t really get past the perimeter,” Blanche said. “That means law enforcement, Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI did their jobs.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
