The former president was grazed on the ear, an audience member was killed, and two others were injured before Secret Service snipers fatally shot Crooks.
The fatal shot, described by an insider as a “one in a million shot,” was fired by a Secret Service counter-sniper, effectively ending the shooting spree.
Security Measures Under Review
In light of this incident, security measures at political events are under intense scrutiny.
Many security experts argue that all buildings within potential firing range of the President should be under continuous surveillance by the US Secret Service.
