How on earth did a gunman who was acting suspiciously crawl onto the roof of a building 130 yards away from where former president of the United States was speaking and manage to fire at least eight shots before he was taken down?
He was spotted and then watched by law enforcement at the Trump rally site because they sensed something wasn't right, according to reports. But then they lost sight of them before the carnage unfolded. It is perhaps the worst lapse in security since President Ronald Reagan was shot and wounded at a Washington hotel in 1981.
There are also allegations that Trump's team asked for more protection on the campaign but was rebuffed. 'I'm directing an independent review on national security yesterday's rally to assess exactly what happened, and we'll share the results of that independent review with the American people as well,' Biden stated.
But there are questions of why a man targeted by so many did not have a sufficient level of agents around him.'Remember they’re observing 360 and you’re dealing with seconds. They’re monitoring maybe in that case it might have been 240 degrees. Jim Cavanaugh, a retired special agent in charge with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms was stunned the shooter got so close.
'I saw Secret Service blow his head off,' he said, and then ran to collect his wife and three kids and return to safety. Agents then climbed onto the roof, where the gunman was and images from social media appeared to show a man lying lifeless.
