ITV News looks at how the gunman, who some say was in plain view of some spectators, was able to open fire on Trump as he spoke at a campaign rally.
Pictures of an assassination attempt on the former US President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania rocked the US - and the world - over the weekend.
Less than ten minutes into Trump's speech, at around 6:15pm, multiple shots were fired towards the stage. While Trump remained on the ground, there was one last round of shots and loud screams from the crowd.“Are we good to move?” one agent asked.“We’re clear!” a Secret Service agent said as Trump was lifted to his feet, his face and ear bloodied.
A video taken by a rally attendee shows how people appeared to see the gunman with his rifle moments before the attack on Trump “All we know is shots were fired, and then I jumped over the barrier and put my hand on the guy’s head that was profusely bleeding," he said.What US presidents have been assassinated or shot at?In a news conference, Kevin Rojek, FBI special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh office, said it was “surprising” the gunman was able to fire multiple shots.
