Jul 20, 2024, 06:49 AM

A gunman who shot former President Donald Trump in the ear at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday flew a drone over the rally site a few hours before Trump took the stage. The incident, which is being described as a significant security lapse, was confirmed by multiple sources including NBC News and the Wall Street Journal. The Secret Service, which typically bans drones over sensitive sites, is facing scrutiny for this breach. The shooter used the drone to scope out the rally grounds just hours before the attempted assassination. This was initially reported as a WSJ scoop.
