Trump shooter flew drone over venue hours before attempted assassination, source says


The gunman was killed after he shot former President Donald Trump in the ear in an assassination attempt. A motive remains unknown.

The camera drone made by DJI allowed 20-year-old gunman, Thomas Crooks, to get an overhead view that maybe helped him plan his attack, the source said. It’s common for the Secret Service to ban drones over areas they are securing, although it’s unclear if that happened with the Butler rally.
