The US Secret Service must answer questions about how Donald Trump was shot. A shooter climbed on top of a building just 130 metres from Mr Trump. People told police they saw a man with a rifle. The Secret Service said the shooting "was unacceptable". Its job was to protect the former President.

Mr Trump was speaking to supporters at a rally. The 20-year-old gunman shot Trump in the ear. One man died and two people were badly injured. A sniper killed the gunman. Secret Service officers protected Trump. They rushed him to safety to a nearby car. Trump thanked God for "preventing the unthinkable".

Back to the Secret Service lesson.
