In the line of fire was a good movie, if a little slow. A psychological thriller. I remember the soundtrack (solid classic jazz) as being one of the best parts.
But aside from the ballroom, it has nothing else in common. I'm guessing the poster didn't see the movie.
In the movie, the would-be assassin writes threatening, taunting letters over a period of many months. He also manufactures his own plastic weapon (pre-3D printing!) to beat metal detectors, and buys an expensive ticket to get in to the event pretending to be a donor. Only one specialized weapon, no backups or plans to kill cabinet members. He's not a teacher, he's apparently Caucasian, didn't leave a manifesto or even a good-bye note, and doesn't even have a moustache. He was ex-CIA (and old), so there's that, but so far the (young) real-life version doesn't track with that part either.
I'm big into this type of comms, got into the details of Snake Eyes for a different event, but IMO there's nothing here with this one.
