Former President Donald Trump is fine after surviving an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The massive rally descended into mayhem and chaos when shots rang out. Trump was hit, with his ear bloody as he was huddled by U.S. Secret Service agents who carried him to the motorcade. Though defiant as ever and undeterred, Trump raised his fist to the crowd, showing that he was okay.

Yet, there will likely be an avalanche of questions concerning security. Witnesses said a man was caught army-crawling on a rooftop armed with a rifle. Others also noticed the alleged would-be assassin, pointing to this person to no avail from law enforcement. BBC interviewed the witness, and it’s wild.

Shooter was about 150 yards from Trump on a rooftop with a direct line of sight to the stage.

It defies every security protocol ever written that this rooftop was not secured, and law enforcement personnel were not standing up there. pic.twitter.com/a1WfwMRZPA

The shooter at the Trump rally fired as many as 8 rounds from an AR style rifle while perched on a rooftop adjacent to the venue, law enforcement sources told ABC News. The shooter was 200-300 yards away at the time of the gunfire, the sources said.

I was skeptical of this video when it first went viral because there's always the possibility it was some kind of misunderstanding and this seems too crazy to be true but this uhhhhh does seem to basically line up with what the Secret Service is saying happened??? https://t.co/0ZBNoPiKmf
