Secret Service repeatedly denied Trump extra security for 2 years

The attempted assassination occurred during an outdoor campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13, where a 20-year-old gunman opened fire on Trump.

The attacker, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, stood on a rooftop just 450 feet (130 meters) from the former president, wounding Trump and killing an audience member. Two others were seriously injured.

The gunman was captured on video standing in the background of the Pennsylvania rally at least an hour before he fired at the Republican presidential candidate.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the video of Crooks was recorded by an attendee at the event. It showed a man matching Crooks’ description walking back and forth along the perimeter of the building he later climbed to shoot Trump.
