Investigators continue to piece together evidence for a motive leading to the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.
It left a former fire chief dead and wounded two other people at the Pennsylvania rally, plus Trump, after the shooter's bullet struck his ear.
The gunman, named as Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire at the rally in Butler and was himself shot dead.
But there are now serious questions about police and Secret Service response to the incident.
The assassination attempt is also reframing Republican Trump’s bitter presidential contest against Democrat incumbent Joe Biden.
For the latest, we’re joined by Evening Standard deputy political editor Jitendra Joshi.
