What to know about the attempt on Trump’s life and its aftermath

Associated Press

With reports that something was amiss minutes before a man opened fire on Saturday from a rooftop at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, officials are demanding to know how such a thing could happen. The former president says that a bullet pierced his upper ear, while a rally-goer was killed and two others wounded. Twenty-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who authorities say carried out the attack, is believed to have acted alone with his father’s gun. Investigators are trying to figure out how an armed man with no military background managed to reach high ground with a clear line of sight to Trump.
