The US Secret Service is investigating how a gunman armed with an AR-style rifle was able to get close enough to shoot and injure former President Donald Trump at a rally Saturday in Pennsylvania, a monumental failure of one of the agency’s core duties. The 20-year-old suspect who was killed by Secret Service personnel was able to get astonishingly close – around 150 metres – to the stage where Trump was speaking. "150 metres is the distance that an army soldier needs to shoot a human-sized target … so the fact that this roof was within that distance and not secured the secret service really is quite mesmerising and has led a lot of people to believe that there was a lapse in security," FRANCE 24’s Fraser Jackson said.
