I'm not a gun guy and I've been lazy (I only read the very short article) but to me it seems like a 10/10 "What the fuck were they thinking?" screw up by the Secret Service.

Law enforcement and witnesses stated that the suspected shooter fired from a roof outside the rally venue using an AR-15–style semi-automatic rifle, before being killed by the Secret Service counter-assault team.

Should have aimed or something (an "AR-15 style" rifle is probably sufficient caliber to kill Trump if you hit center mass)

That's more of a schoolboy's weapon though
