Police Snipers Spotted Trump Attacker Just Before Shooting

New details have emerged regarding Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attacked Donald Trump. The 20-year-old was seen by three police snipers minutes before opening fire at the former US president during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

Crooks, armed with a rifle, was swiftly neutralized by a Secret Service sniper, but not before a bystander was killed and two spectators injured.

The incident has sparked criticism of the Secret Service's security protocols, given the assailant's proximity to Trump.
