FBI chief announces:
Trump shooter searched online for Kennedy killer
The shooter who opened fire a week and a half ago at a campaign rally for former US President Donald Trump was searching the internet for details about the murder of John F. Kennedy before the crime, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI analysis of the shooter's laptop had revealed that he had wanted to find out how far away Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald had been when he shot then-President Kennedy in 1963.
This was stated by FBI chief Christopher Wray in a hearing on the Trump assassination before the House Judiciary Committee. The Trump shooter had searched for this information online on July 6, Wray said.
Search: "How far away was Oswald from Kennedy"
That was the day he signed up for the Trump event in the town of Butler, Pennsylvania, he said. "On July 6, he did a Google search for: 'How far was Oswald from Kennedy,'" Wray said.
Shooter had drone flown
The shooter also flew a drone about 180 meters from the stage just hours before Trump appeared, the FBI chief added. It had been in the air for around eleven minutes and was later found in the shooter's car, according to CNN.
A gunman had opened fire at a Trump campaign event on July 13. One spectator was killed and two others seriously wounded. Trump was injured in the ear.
Head of the Secret Service resigned.
The perpetrator was killed by security forces. In recent days, there had been fierce criticism of the Secret Service's approach because the shooter was able to get onto a roof with a direct view of the stage despite all the security measures. On Tuesday, the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, finally drew the consequences and resigned.
