WASHINGTON Ƶ In many ways, the assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign stop was a coming together that allowed 20-year-old Michael Thomas Crooks to climb on top of a nearby building and take eight shots at the once and future president.

One attendee was killed, two others wounded and a bullet grazed Trump's ear before a Secret Service counter sniper opened fire on Crooks and killed him. That day jolted an already chaotic race for the White House and in his party and beyond.
