Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a rooftop 130 yards from where the former president was on stage speaking to thousands of fans in Butler at 6.15pm on Saturday night.

Trump suddenly grabbed his ear and had blood covering his face after at least eight shots were fired and the crowd started screaming as Secret Service agents swarmed around him.

He then got up, raised his fist, and shouted ‘Fight, fight, fight’ as he was rushed away from the scene and to the hospital. Just a few hours later he released a statement saying he was fine and describing the moment he felt the bullet rip through his skin.

The attacker killed a member of the crowd before he was shot and killed in the terrifying incident that has sparked questions about how law enforcement allowed him to open fire on a former president.
