49% : By that time, Trump had taken the stage, Nicol said.
45% : So they deferred to the Secret Service agents whose job it was to determine the security plan and keep Trump safe.
42% : In the seconds after the shooting, Trump was rushed to a local hospital, where doctors treated a wound to his ear.
40% : Within an hour, Crooks would open fire from the roof of that very building, less than 200 yards from the rally's stage, wounding Trump on live TV, killing one person in the crowd, and critically injuring two more.
37% : With the presidential campaign in full gear and Trump now saying he wants to return for another rally outside Pittsburgh, it is critical to know what went wrong at the last one -- so it doesn't happen again.
