It looks like the first shot grazed Trump but from my newsfeed, he is "fine".

The shooter was called Thomas Matthew Crooks (age 20). Was he from a different political persuasion or just wanted fame? I suspect he knew he would die within minutes and it was the latter!

I've just woke up to this news.
I'm surprised it hasn't happened before now but the security services look like they failed on this attempt.

I still don't understand how the shooter was able to have a line of fire.
Apparently, some in the crowd saw him, what!
