61% : "Shooter flew drone over area two hours ahead of rallyWray offered new information that the shooter flew a drone over the Butler fairgrounds about two hours before Trump spoke at the rally location.
52% : The FBI director said Crooks flew the drone around the area, roughly 200 yards away from the stage, around 3:50 p.m. to 4 p.m. Trump took the stage around two hours later at 6 p.m."We think -- but we do not know, so again, this is one of these things that is qualified because of our ongoing review -- that he was live-streaming, viewing the footage
38% : Officers first spotted gunman with rifle 'only seconds' before shootingWray attempted to clarify the timeline as to what took place from the time Crooks was identified on the roof and when he shot at Trump.
28% : Wray confirmed previous knowledge that Crooks fired approximately eight times at Trump before being killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper.
