BREAKING NEWS CONFERENCE: FBI Verifies This was "An Assassination Attempt" and Will Investigate Eyewitnesses Who Saw the Shooter on the Roof

5 People were Shot: Trump, 2 critically ill adult male attendees, plus one male who was killed. Additionally, the shooter was killed. Shooter: 20 year old from Pennsylvania.

The building was 130 yards away. Sharpshooters shot back at the sniper, which is why we heard so many shots. An ER doc was reportedly at the ralky and gave CPR to one of the attendees who was shot.

The speculation is that there was not enough Special Forces staff to make the stage “sterile” for the President.

Law enforcement had been responding to other allegations that a man was seen scaling the wall. They are investigating it. This man said he and others saw the shooter, and notified Secret Service, who did nothing.

No police were injured by any bullets.

There were objects of unidentified objects near the shooter's body, which are not being publicly identified. They are treating all packages as a potential flammable device.

They are running DNA and verifying biometrics before identifying anyone.

Additionally, they say that they don't currently suspect anyone else was involved in the shooting besides the lone shooter. They want to identify whether he acted alone or whether others were involved.

The FBI denies having refused to supply any additional security for the event.
