Viral Trump assassination

News summary

A viral photo capturing the assassination attempt on former President Trump has sparked widespread discussion about the camera that took the shot—the Sony A9M3. Simultaneously, bodycam footage released by Senator Chuck Grassley reveals the chaotic aftermath of the July 13 incident, where a 20-year-old gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired an AR-15-style weapon from a rooftop during Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The footage depicts confusion among law enforcement and highlights security lapses that allowed Crooks to get close enough to fire at Trump, who was grazed by a bullet. Following the incident, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned amid criticism over the agency's failure to protect Trump. Grassley's call for transparency has garnered support, with many questioning the Secret Service's effectiveness. The incident underscores the critical need for reinforced security for high-profile individuals.
