Assassination attempt on Donald Trump | Secret Service investigates shooter’s proximity

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating how a gunman armed with an AR-style rifle was able to get close enough to shoot and wound former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, a monumental failure in one of the federal agency’s core duties.


The gunman, who was killed by Secret Service personnel, fired several shots at the scene from an “elevated position outside the rally site,” the agency said.
