Trump assassination attempt: Former president to have bulletproof glass surrounding podium at outdoor rallies
The president was addressing the open-air crowd, just minutes into his speech, when a gunman fired at him from the rooftop of a nearby building. Trump was struck in the ear but avoided serious injury. One spectator in the audience was killed and two others were injured. The security failure has brought heavy scrutiny on the Secret Service, which had been responsible for coordinating with local law enforcement.
