Thomas Matthew Crooks, the gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone over the Butler Farm Show grounds shortly before former president Trump was set to speak there, according to a new report by The Wall Street Journal.This is the second piece of new information we're learning about the assassination attempt on Trump.
Earlier in the day, we found out that Donald Trump’s campaign wanted to hold the rally at Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport but had to change the site to the Butler Farm Show grounds, due to a scheduling conflict.
On Saturday, July 13, Crooks climbed onto a building during Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle, authorities said.He killed a 50-year-old father of two named Corey Comperatore, critically wounded David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74, according to authorities. He struck the former president in his right ear.Secret Service counter-snipers "neutralized" Crooks at the scene, authorities said.
Images show him lying dead on a rooftop less than 150 yards from where Trump had been speaking.
