Al Jazeera  

What do we know so far about what happened in the hour before the shooting? Evading Secret Service agents and local law enforcement officers, Crooks reached a rooftop about 140 metres from where Trump was speaking on a stage and fired, grazing the Republican candidate running in the presidential election in November. This is the timeline of what is known so far: Sixty minutes before shooting: Crooks spotted by police One hour before Trump took to the stage to give his speech, Crooks was spotted by local police officers outside the event perimeter. Forty minutes before shooting: Crooks spotted again with rangefinder Local police who were trying to keep track of Crooks lost him for roughly 20 minutes before spotting him again. Thirty seconds before shooting: Officer tries to reach Crooks Butler County Sheriff Michael T Slupe told the Post that an officer went to examine the roof after a request from local police to try to identify the suspicious individual who had by now been spotted several times.
