Per CBS News:

The July 13 gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, killed Comperatore and injured David Dutch and James Copenhaver when he opened fire from a roof near the rally. A bullet grazed Trump’s ear.

A CBS News analysis found that the gunman fired eight rounds in under six seconds before he was shot and killed by a United States Secret Service sniper.

On Thursday, Trump announced a July 31 rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It will be his first time back in Pennsylvania after the attempted assassination.
