United States citizens are currently demanding answers from security agents who allowed the assassination attempt on the former president Donald Trump.

They are asking how possible it could be that a former president who should have been guided by enough security personnel was on Saturday attacked by a gunman.

 Americans are demanding answers from FBI and other security agents including police who were reportedly informed about the gunman on a rooftop and nothing was done to stop him.

Also speaking to Americans after his failed assassination attempt, Donald Trump, said that God prevented the unthinkable, calling on Americans to be resilient in their faith and defiant in the face of wickedness.

“It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” the former president wrote in a post on Truth Social.

“We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed,” he said, adding that it was more important now than ever “that we stand United”.

“I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.”

Crooks was from Bethel Park in Pennsylvania, around an hour from where the rally took place

He graduated in 2022 from Bethel Park High School, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He received a $500 “star award” from the National Math and Science Initiative, the paper adds

His father, Matthew Crooks, 53, told CNN he was trying to figure out what happened and would wait until he spoke to law enforcement before speaking
