Now, what we're learning tonight about the suspect, a teacher and computer programmer.

The writings the Caltech grad allegedly left behind in his hotel room.
Here's ABC's Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas.
>> Tonight, we're learning more about the man investigators believe opened fire near that ballroom with the president inside.
Authorities say this is Cole Allen, seen here lying on the ground shirtless.
They believe Allan is the heavily armed suspect racing past security before the Secret Service took him down.
>> He was armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives.
>> And law enforcement sources say they're learning more disturbing new details about the suspect's alleged motive and
willingness to kill as many people as possible to get to his intended targets,
Trump administration officials.
It is clear based upon what we know so far that this individual was intent on doing as much harm and as much damage as he could.
>> Sources describing a message Cole Allen allegedly sent to his family before the attack.
The message describes grievances against Trump administration officials, expressing a willingness to kill from the highest ranking to the lowest, including any Secret Service members that got in his way.
The alleged message ends with a critique of hotel security
and how his plan to check into the hotel allowed him to have weapons in the building without anyone knowing.
And sources say it included a reference to himself as Cole friendly federal assassin Allen.
The FBI and Secret Service launching a nationwide investigation.
Within hours, FBI agents and a SWAT team was at the Allen family home in Torrance, California.
We believe that he traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago and then Chicago to Washington DC.
>> Allan got an engineering degree from Caltech in 2017 and went on to get a masters from Cal State last year.
This interview appears to be the suspect in college showing an emergency brake he built for a wheelchair.
>> The wheelchair brakes tend to lock the wheels but don't actually lock the chair to the ground. The idea with this is to prevent it from moving at all.
>> More recently, Allan has been working as a tutor, even once winning an award for teacher of the month.
Allan is expected to face gun charges, including assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon.
He's set to make his first court appearance tomorrow.
