FBI names ‘subject involved’ in Trump shooting
REPUBLICA CANDIDATE Donald Trump calling upon Americans to fight as bullets fly over his head
Secret Service agents killed the gunman, who has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
The gunman, fired multiple shots at the stage from an “elevated position outside of the rally venue”, the agency said.
An Associated Press analysis of more than a dozen videos and photos from the scene of the Trump rally, as well as satellite imagery of the site, shows the shooter was able to get astonishingly close to the stage. The roof where the body lay was less than 150 meters from where Trump was speaking.
According to Reuters, Republican lawmakers said they would launch swift investigations into how the sniper apparently managed to evade Secret Service agents and climb onto the roof of a building near where Donald Trump was speaking at an election rally and fire multiple shots before being killed.
Republican House speaker Mike Johnson said on social media that the House will have “Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle and other appropriate officials appear for a hearing before our committees ASAP”.
