.IT WAS ACTUALLY A spectacular lapse in protection: how performed a sniper install an unprotected rooftop along with a direct line of sight to Donald Trump, that was standing a mere 150m away? Based upon online video footage, it looks like Mr Trump was millimetres coming from death-- conserved by a fortunate turn of the head an instant prior to Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Pennsylvania, shot at him. Scoundrels killed a rally-goer before being actually fatally fired themself.
