Why did the FBI have this kids DNA on file?
The FBI identified Crooks by analyzing his DNA, officials told local CBS affiliate KDKA, as he did not have any identification on him.
This is the part that makes me go wtf…
How did they go from sampling his DNA and identifying him in that short amount? I don’t remember the exact time, but it seemed like it took about 5 hours.
Edit: It’s been a long day and I guess my timeline is way off. I thought they identified the suspect last night, but apparently it was sometime early this morning. That makes the turn around time a lot less wtf.
The article says the gunman then immediately turned and fired at Trump, so I’m not sure that there’s actually a problem with what this officer did. If he’d tried to charge the gunman, he’d immediately have been shot himself, then the guy would have shot at Trump anyway.
From what I see what went wrong is letting the speech continue after receiving a report of a gunmen, and then even worse they let the speech continue after visually confirming the gunmen.
The cop should have radiod “investigatig a gunmen on this rooftop” and as soon as he did they should have stopped the speech and gotten Trump to safety.
