A Pittsburgh man who witnessed the assassination attempt on former President Trump in Butler, Pa., last weekend recounted his experience at the rally. Bob Crankovic, an active member of local Republican circles, was sitting behind Trump just off his right shoulder when the incident occurred.
During the rally, Thomas Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pa., attempted to kill Trump but ended up shooting him in the ear as the former president turned to explain a border policy graphic. Crankovic described the chaos that ensued as Secret Service agents quickly reacted to protect Trump.
