    Positioned on a nearby roof, the shooter killed a former fire chief and critically injured two other attendees. Secret Service agents shielded Trump as they moved him off stage — but not before he raised his fist to the crowd and seemingly chanted, "Fight," with blood on his face.

    The shooter, later identified by law enforcement as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, used an AR-style rifle. Secret Service snipers fired back during the attack and killed him. He was a registered Republican who'd previously made a small donation to ActBlue, a liberal campaign group.
