.IT WAS A sensational lapse in safety and security: how performed a sharpshooter mount an unprotected roof with a direct line of vision to Donald Trump, that was standing up a plain 150m away? Based upon video footage, it seems like Mr Trump was millimetres from fatality-- spared through a privileged turn of the head a split second prior to Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Pennsylvania, shot at him. Scoundrels eliminated a rally-goer prior to being actually fatally fired themself.
