Former President Trump has confirmed that plans for the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee are moving forward despite the attempt on his life Monday. The Secret Service is facing heightened scrutiny in the wake of the attack, in which the shooter was allowed to bring a rifle onto a nearby rooftop in broad daylight.
A law enforcement expert joined 'Fox News @ Night' on Sunday to detail what happened when an officer at former President Trump's Pennsylvania rally allegedly confronted the gunman on a rooftop before the deadly shooting on Saturday. Retired Las Vegas Police Lt. Randy Sutton says the officer was alerted to the gunman, now identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, and was attempting to confront him on the roof, but there was 'no ladder' or access point.
'As he was lifting himself up over the roof line, suddenly the suspect pointed his gun at him, the officer ducked down, and when he did, he fell off the back of the other officer,' Sutton said. Sutton explained that this was not a situation where an officer committed a 'cowardly act,' dismantling an earlier report that the officer possibly retreated when he confronted Crooks.
