Shortly after, he compared Trump to Theodore Roosevelt. The Secret Service is investigating the incident and it is already known that 20-year-old gunman Thomas Crooks, who fired from the roof of a neighbouring building at Trump, was shot dead by security after the incident. A Pennsylvania prosecutor said one protester was killed and two protesters were also wounded. A spokesman for Trump confirmed that the former president was fine and had been evaluated at a local medical facility.
