The Secret Service received a warning about Thomas Michael Crooks, deemed a "threat", 10 minutes before Donald Trump took the stage in Pennsylvania, but failed to act. Snipers spotted Crooks on the roof 20 minutes before he fired. An earlier warning about a "suspicious character" was received over an hour before the shooting, but the agency was unaware of Crooks' gun. The incident has raised questions about the Secret Service's response and communication breakdowns. The investigation is ongoing, with multiple agencies involved.
