Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly, chairman of the House task force on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, raised concerns about the law enforcement response to gunman Thomas Crooks at the Butler Farm Show fairgrounds in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooting occurred during Trump's campaign rally on July 13, resulting in one fatality and two severe injuries.
Kelly questioned the delay in taking action when the sniper had Crooks in sight but was waiting for authorization to shoot. The bipartisan task force, established through a House resolution with unanimous support, is actively investigating the incident to determine any potential negligence.
