According to ABC News, the shooter had planned this assassination for days. ABC News also stated that: for several months the shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had received several packages that some marked as possible hazardous material according to his shipping history. Crooks purchased 50 rounds of ammunition in a gun shop in Bethel Park, PA. Then on the day of the shooting he asked to borrow his dad’s AR- 15 rifle.

Now according to published timelines, 6:03 pm Trump took to the stage, then at 6:09 people warned the police officers that a gunman was on a roof. Minutes later the police went to see what the people were talking about but did nothing. 6:11 gunshots were fired at Trump.
