The assailant who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump was clearly visible from the rally area where the former president was injured. According to reports, this is evidenced by a video broadcast by American television channels. DEA News.
The footage is believed to have been captured by one of the Trump supporters who stood close to the politician behind him during the rally.
The recording appears to show the suspect moving across the roof and soon assuming control of the space where the gunfight began. The Secret Service sniper, assigned to protect Trump, reportedly neutralized the attacker after eight gunshots were fired from the suspect’s position.
On July 13, Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The candidate was struck multiple times, then escorted off the stage amid injuries described as a bleeding ear, and subsequently transported to a hospital. He was released after receiving medical care.
In the wake of the incident, the race dynamics shifted. The leading rival, then-President Joe Biden, paused campaign activities for a period, and the Democratic Party announced temporary adjustments to its schedule. Vice President Kamala Harris was later positioned as the Democratic nominee following party announcements.
During a later appearance in Nashville on July 30, Trump encountered security-related delays. It appeared that two young men managed to bypass initial screening measures, but subsequent checks indicated they did not pose a direct threat.
Authorities stated that Trump would and did provide statements to the FBI regarding the assassination attempt, outlining known details and ongoing investigations.
