THE gunman who shot at Donald Trump during a rally last week reportedly flew a drone over the grounds just hours before the former president’s speech.
Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, is said to have operated the drone on a pre-programmed flight path to survey the grounds ahead of Trump’s 6 pm speech in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
